Match Width or Height to Key Object
I would like a quicker way to match an object's width or height to that of another object. Currently I have to select the correctly sized object, copy the W value, select the next object, and paste the W value. This must be done individually for each object. A pain when you have, say, a dozen objects scattered around the artwork but you want them to all be the same size. I think it could work similarly to the "align to key object" tool.

Eyedropper tool picks up and applies object size: height, width, or both.

There is a beautiful free script that allows to do exactly this:

And yep, this should be a from-the-box feature. -

How this isn't already included is beyond me. It must be super simple for Adobe to include, and exists in most graphics software. Copying Last action (Ctrl + D) counterintuiatively only applies the same magnitude of a size change (e.g. add 0.5 mm or substract 5 pixels, which seems needlessly complicated). This feature needs to be made to save time and generally improve the manipulation of objects!

Looks like a super-easy operation to program. Bring the feature from Animate already! thanks

This would be handy when dealing with cut lines and bleeds. Solution to this for now is using cut lines as clipping mask and then resize & release.
Resize everything selected with key object transformation would be much easier.
