Yes. > I've actually been working on figuring out why the shapes are coded the > way they are. Quite easy - to be scalable. > I copied some into my local shapes folder and couldn't figure out why my > changes would not show up. Because they weren't listed in any sheet.

In reality (pun intended), the shape measuring units are relative to the shape itself, and bear [almost] no significance for resulting diagram. > It turns out there was something to do with the prefix on the name of the > shapes.
