draw ((2,6) -- (2,5)) scaled 1cm withcolor .625red ;

you can use

drawoptions(scaled 1cm withcolor .625red) ;

draw(...) ; draw(...) ; draw(...) ;

"drawoptions(scaled 1cm withcolor .625red)"

does not apply the

"scaled 1cm"

part. Is there another macro that handles the global scaling?

no, at the end say:

currentpicture := currentpicture scaled 1.2 ;

Ok, but that enlarges everything the pen, the labels etc. i.e., draw ((2,6) -- (2,5)) scaled 1cm withcolor .625red ; is not the same as draw ((2,6) -- (2,5)) withcolor .625red ; currentpicture := currentpicture scaled 1 cm ; I did find the u := 1cm; z[1] = (2u,6u) ; method; is there another way, a macro perhaps?
