Dropping tiles onto map at a different default size?

Hey all!  This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to drag tiles onto the map that start at a designated size instead of having to resize every tile? Example: While on map mode, when you drag tiles on a map they start at 6x6 units size

Depending on how many different tiles you are talking about setting an image as the default token while at the desired size means you can pull that token onto the VTT from the journal entry and it will be the size it was when you set the default token. If it is a LOT of tiles then you could make a rollable table with them all in it, make a token from that, resize as needed and then make that the default token which would mean you have them the right size but would have to manually select the 'side' of the token each time. Quickest and easiest way as you are a pro subscriber and have access to the API?  TokenMod , make a macro with a size query and put it in your token bar. Drag>Select>Macro>???>Profit

There's an API Script for that! Check out: ScaleOnAdd

There's also a  script that does tiling for you too ;)

That tiling script gives you a way to cover large rectangular areas with the same tile quickly, say if you want to lay down a ground cover as a base.  Note that it only works with graphics that are stored in your User Library.  If you want to use it with a Marketplace tile, you'll need to download it and upload it to your User Library first.  Feel free to PM me if you have any questions with any of those scripts.. I seem to have written all of them. =D

Thanks for commenting and explaining!

I knew Aaron would be along to explain further if needed (he does that...) ;)
