Size of Decorations

It should probably be pointed out that today you can already set the size precisely using the set width and height dialog (under the resize button in the toolbar), which I find easy enough.

 @ tst :   (thank you tst)

yes, indeed (+1)  I did not know this feature. 

but only on the front panel ... there is nothing to resize decorations on the BD.

[tst]

A valid point, although personally I don't really use decorations much on the BD, and when I do, I don't need precise sizes that badly.

For the moment, at least, you could probably write a QD shortcut which will pop up a dialog. There might even be one already in the group. You could probably even call the NI dialog (in <LabVIEW>\resource\dialog\resize.llb). I think it simply uses the selection list property and it has a boolean panel input, which I assume would take the selection from the BD if it's false.

I fully agree as I think it is a duplicate of my idea 

(You have a better way of presenting the idea, probably the reason why you already received more kudoos )

Yes

On top of that, decorations really need a global redesign, especially for block diagram decorations (would allow for much better comments)

Not an exact solution but my property browser tool can help with this.  Just select the decoration and find the size, double-click the number, and edit.  For the block diagram decoration be sure to turn on the "Scripting" filter.
