What inspired this wish list request? Often the variable being dropped in the Graph Builder "Size" drop-zone has the same units as the X and Y axes (e.g. centimeters), so from a plotting standpoint it makes sense that the marker be drawn to match the size of those units (example below). This would make basic surface-mapping/topographical visualizations within Graph Builder very easy.
What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like the "Size Settings..." (right-click the legend) box to have a "Match Axes Scale" checkbox. (example below)
Why is this idea important? This will enable scaled visualization of simple-shaped regions on axes where the X, Y, and Size variables all have the same units.

Example:
Suppose I have a dataset of flaws found on a surface of manufactured products that looks like this:
| SN | X(cm) | Y(cm) | Diameter(cm) |
| 0001 | 2.3 | 1.15 | 0.04 |
| 0001 | 2.7 | 0.44 | 0.12 |
| 0001 | 1.5 | 2.6 | 0.35 |
| 0002 | 5.4 | 1.9 | 0.17 |
| 0002 | 3.1 | 4.1 | 0.59 |
With the idea above, to visualize the defects in Graph Builder the user would create a Local-Data-Filter for SN, then plot points with X(cm)->X, Y(cm)->Y, and Diameter(cm)->Size, then click "Match Axes Scale" in the "Size settings..." dialog.
The default circular points would be drawn as ovals with the semi-major/minor axes of length _Diameter(cm)_ along each axis. Other marker types would be scaled similarly, but this would be most useful for circle/square markers.
