<DIV><SPAN class=515075121-24032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I've
had a bit of a play. What would be really cool is if I could scale the
world, but when I open a browser (or some other window) it is opened with a
scale factor such that at the current world scale it is full size, so I can have
all sorts of stuff going on at different scales.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>There are performance hits, but everything should work in a scaled

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hi Daniel --</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>Try putting everything in a playfield (found in the supplies
flap), get its halo of handles (cmd-click (MAC) alt-click PC), get its
viewer (click on the blue eyeball handle at left-center), look in the
geometry category and set the scale factor to something other than one.
You can then use the yellow handle to rescale the playfield and everything
inside will follow suit.</BLOCKQUOTE>
