ORD Design File Settings>Working Unite>Resolution change tool

Is there a tool in ORD that can change the Design File Settings>Working Unite>Resolution and scale the model so that the model remains at the correct scale after the resolution change. Is there such a tool? If not, that is my design enhancement request to have such a tool.

    I have also used the Ohio tool.

    My problem is that when my model has civil cells that reference a corridor and I have scale set in the Ohio tool the civil cells will crash ORD while scaling. This causes a failure.

    The real problem I have is that when my alignment design model reference is at one resolution and my drawing models are at a different resolution the annotation draws at a scale that is factor of the drawing model resolution/design model resolution. ORD should be designed to handle this situation or ORD should provide a tool that will adjust the resolution and scale the civil elements accordantly.

    We have used the Ohio DOT Unit Converter App to change the units of resolution and scale models. It is not built in but may be of use: https://bentleysystems.service-now.com/community?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0038582
