My human clients do that so they don’t have to wear glasses. :) Robert is just looking for a quick — check that checkbox — to solve his problem. Form Scaling is really not that fix. While it may work for him and fix his issue, he is being into using a legacy feature and using it in a way it was never intended to be used. They way you are doing scaling is a good way, may be the preferred way to do it. But you can only go up a point or 2 before object start colliding and overlapping each other. Web page form scaling on macOS with the command-+ and command- - keys works great in Safari. Same for Text Edit or Pages. They have programmed it to work correctly. Maybe some day 4D will implement this type of scaling. That would be sweet!
