I don't know what Leonard needs this for, but I know of a user case where 
I'd like something like this. The user case is that I'm working on eg 
a state diagram with lots of boxes with text in them. As I've changed the 
text, some of the boxes have increased their size. Now I'd like to tweak 
my diagram so that the boxes all get the same size - just to make it look 
pretty...

Here's one way the UI could work this function:

* Select a first object
* Select more objects
* Invoke the command for setting objects to the same size

This would then set the size of the other objects to the size of the first 
object.

Oh, if this functionality alread exists, please let me know!
