      How does one use scale definition to scale a component. When I click on the component it stays grayed out in the context menu. What am I doing wrong?

        You use the scale tool to scale any number of entities, whether raw geometry, groups and/or component instances
        The menu option you are referring to is to set a scaled instance as the definition to this scale.
        If say the instance had been scale to twice the original size, then one can set the definition to this scale so that all new instances would be at this size and existing would some scale factor of it
        When a group or component(instance) is scaled one also has an option to reset the scale, this would return the instance to the definitions size. scale = 1
        If the component(instance) has not been scaled these menu options would not be available (grey)
