Super Derive with scale option
I was inserting a logo to be subtracted from another part studio for machining using the standard derive feature and then boolean when it suddenly dawned on me that I had added super derive once upon a time never had a need or remembered I had it till now and wondered if it could do a few things like booleans and scaling. Wha.da.ya.know…. Booleans are in there. Sadly scaling was not. Anyway. it'd be a cool addition for logo's and I'm sure other uses to add a transform scaling option if possible. It would have to be able to do non uniform scaling for my particular example. Not sure who might be interested in added that or who owns the feature. But thank you.. very cool. If there's another option for my use case, let me know for future use.

I usually add a config variable in my logos that does the scaling, this way I can just pick the "size" directly when I derive it in.
I thought about that. But in this case the size was random and had to fill the space as much as aesthetically possible.
In that case you could create a measured variable for the width, and use that to drive the config
