What I do is this: I assign the arpeggio sign to the lowest note in the right hand, use the left arrow on the upper handle to move the sign to the left. Then I click on the lower handle and hold down the down arrow to move the lower squiggle to the bottom note of the left hand. With the MIDI Tool I assign 0, -50, -100, -150, -200, etc. in decrements to the attack times for the notes of the chord from the top down. Once this is done I can copy the articulation and the playback data to other similar chords using the Mass Mover.
You don't have to change the attack times for individual notes. In the articulation definition, you can choose "Change Attack" under Playback Definition, then enter EDU values for bottom note and top note. Finale will split the difference for all the notes of the chord. I believe the default articulation comes with this already set.
That's assuming the entire roll is on a single chord. If you've got separate staves or separate layers then you have to figure values for them separately to work out right. I can see how there would be times where your method is easier, but certainly not all cases.
