You should check out VP-Graphics by Paperback Software.  It is completely
object-oriented, allowing you to size all the objects drawn as you described.
It allows you to "group" multiple objects into a single object and then
deal with it/them as a single object.  It allows you to "ungroup" such
objects later, should you wish so go back to using a single one.  It 
accepts Lotus PIC files directly, allowing for quick enhancements.  It's
biggest limitation, in my opinion, is the limited set of fonts available.
But for the price (usually <$60) it's a real value.
