Scaling Decal Sizes (not resolutions) in Stager

I work for an engineering firm and must generate models with accurately sized decals. For example, when I create a model 11 inches long, I might need to put a label on it measuring 1 inch deep. I create the label in Illustrator to scale, but when it's brought into Stager there's no correlation between the Illustrator scales and Stager's. Furthermore, if I try to put the same decal on different elements in a scene each instance is a different size. How do I control decal sizes in Stager?

IMHO there isn't any feature for scaling before placing. Usually I do that manually. You can change object size with decal and they resizing simultaneously and proportionally.

Thanks, Ares, that's what I thought. It's unfortunate. I have to place the same warning label on several elements in the scene, so they need to look like they're the same. It takes a lot of time to tweak them manually.

I find a workaround. You can Copy and Past as Intance one your basic model. The Instances duplicateng all custom changes on Parent Model. This allow to place and scale all decal on all instances. Hope this will help. See video.
