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
