If you are using the new Symbol Scale feature and then copy and paste something into the drawing the Paste uses the Symbol Scale feature. I had something pasted at 96x what I copied it at. I can't think of a reason why I would want to copy and paste something and have it use the Symbol Scale feature.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? If there is a real benefit can we at least not have the Symbol Scale in Paste linked with the Symbol Scale for symbols. They should be independant of each other.

Ah now I see, the Symbol Scale On/Off toggle buttons are linked. Yeah they should probably be unique for each menu if possible. Pasting is usually 98% an 1:1 thing for us at least.

I get in enough trouble exploding and saving enlarged symbols at the wrong size that this paste scaling could be a potential disaster unless we can get some controls on it. I can see where it could have some advantages but it's still dangerous.
