All Inputs / Panels Follow Dimension Tool Scale
I want to be able to create and edit all of my art in scale.
Example
I would like to be able to make a 2" rectangle in 1:2 scale and have it illustrator draw me a 1" square on the page.
This would be very powerful for things when expanded to the object info box to get area and path dimensions, being able to make a font 3' tall in the character panel.
Every place that you can control shapes with math, it would be amazing to be able to do it to scale in the program without having to exit to do math elsewhere to get your conversion.

Adding capability to the Measuring Tool to set a specific length to line segment, while working at a scale other than 1:1. Trying to draw a line 32.25 inches to meet a DIY project can present challenges. This feature will aid in saving time and apply exact measurements to the drawing.
The Line segment tool has a feature to allow the user to set the distance. However, the Line Segment tool does not allow the user to work, based on scale of the project.
Suggest either add a scale to the Line Segment tool or add a Distance setting for the Measuring tool. -
There are several existing requests about custom scales here at UserVoice.
Would you prefer to be able to assign custom scales per document, or per layer, or per artboard, or perhaps somehow differently?
