We have a toolbar button for cloning the formatting of a given object or entity, and applying it to another. It would be useful to have a similar tool, but which copies the dimensions (width & heigh, angle & length) of an object or entity to another one.
Especially useful working on Drawing Objects of course, double-especially in Impress and Draw.
Select the objects so that the shape which shall be the "master" for the dimension is selected as last one. Use the items "Equalize Height" and "Equalize Width" from the menu "Shape". I think we do not need a further clone size tool.

Use the items "Equalize Height" and > "Equalize Width" from the menu "Shape". Apparently that's broken in Impress 24.8.1.2 and works in 25.2 nightlies. Some issues with this approach though: 1. Not a toolbar button 2. Requires pre-selection of objects 3. Requires remembering that the last selection is the master (and when you rectangle-select multiple things - which one is "last" anyway?) 4. Requires two separate actions Also - it doesn't work for lines, only shapes with area.
