Scales and line dimension handles
I would like to see architecture and engineer scales in Ai, similar to Cadtools14 plugin. But allow the line segment transform properties to have the scaled X, Y positions as well as the scaled length in the transform dialogue box (as well as the native X, Y and length) so that the user can specify the X, Y, length (and angle) of both the scaled dimension as well as the native dimensions and have the line segment transform accordingly. Also have the rulers and grid lines with the option of the scaled dimensions

The team is developing the Dimension Tool (already accessible in Ai Beta), and it allows to set scales for dimensions, the same way CADTools can.
Alas, the team has no known intentions to also introduce scales for everything else. Ai is not a specialized CAD software, and it’s built in a way it won’t ever truly be one, and the general demand on it won’t ever be high enough to get these — I think. Dimensions is one thing, scales it a much more specialized feature...
Still I am upvoting this.
