Does changing the Settings / Edit Defs / Decimals list affect anything other than the Enlargement factor list?

I want to add 0.707107 to the list (half the square root of 2) so I can "Enlarge" the position of lines in the X direction to show foreshortened planes on 45 degree walls.

All of the following use that list:

  • Oblique Factor
  • Contour Stiffness
  • Enlargement
  • Text Aspect Ratio
  • Arrow Ratio
  • Symbol Enlargement Factor
  • Arc Factor (curve smoothing)
  • Hatch Scale
  • View Layer File screen %
  • Scroll %
  • XRef Enlargement
  • Text Line Spacing Factor

There are likely others that I don't recall just now.

I was just thinking this week of creating a toolbar button with drop downs to invoke common Enlarge values for these types of factors. I was drawing elevations for a plan with 15 & 30 degree angles and ended up pasting the values into a text file so I could copy and paste them into the Enlarge X prompt. Since I don't use them often the toolbar would be nice so I can have a text label to recall the value and when it's used. Projecting lines and calc distance helps a lot these days ;)
