Subject says it all. Looking for a way to simply reset dimensions of a linked or embedded file in Illustrator. Prefebly using an action or script so it can be "one-touch".

Select the linked image, then in the Links hamburger menu, select Placement Options, then change from "Preserve Transforms" to "Preserve File Dimensions".

thank you for the reply!

Unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for as "Preserve File Dimensions" doesn't allow it to be transformed again. Looking for a simple reset but then retain the ability to retain transformation. Like I just placed it into the document.
