Feature Request - scale text toggle

It would be very helpful to have a toggle in settings just like the "scale strokes and effects" for text.  A checkbox for "Scale text" would allow re-scaling of a block of layers but maintain the font size in all of the text if unchecked.  Very handy when doing lots of event maps with tons of street names and the client decides to add something just out of frame so you have to re-scale the map.  You grab all the layers and scale down and it gets pretty tedious to bring all the street names back to the font size you want for that project.  Same with scaling up to show detail areas.

If you place text on it's own layer, you can scale other layers then address the text placement.

 

If text were to *not* scale with other object, you'd have to address all the text placement anyway.

For the items in a map you hopefully have a character style. You can select > Same > Text size
