How could I adjust the size of each component?

How could I adjust the size of each component?
It seems like a normal requirement to adjust the size of each component in the model. But I didn't find how to do it in the current version.

It is not possible from inside the program, right now. But I treat this issue as a feature request.
I have thought about it before but never gotten around to implementing it.

You can, however, change the icon scale in the xml file for the component, so in this case the file: componentLibraries/defaultLibrary/Electric/ElectricGroundMultiPort.xml

        <icons>
            <icon scale="1" path="ElectricGround.svg" iconrotation="ON" type="user"/>
        </icons>

But then the scale will be reset when you install the next update

A workaround would be to create your own library and then subclass a component from the default library:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<hopsanobjectappearance version="0.3">
    <modelobject typename="Ground" subtypename="LargerGround" displayname="Larger C-type Ground (multi-port)">
        <icons>
            <icon scale="3" path="ElectricGround.svg" iconrotation="ON" type="user"/>
        </icons>
        <ports>
            <port y="0.0" x="0.5" a="270" name="P1"/>
        </ports>
    </modelobject>
</hopsanobjectappearance>

In this way the component scale will not be affected when updating to a new Hopsan version.
