Questions about loading negative volume

I have scaled a part and i want to subtract another STL from it.  When I load the second STL as a negative volume it seems to get scaled by the same amount as the first piece.  Is there a switch that would prevent this? Are there any instructions for working with negative volumes?

This is a job far better done in CAD, design tools in the slicer are just an emergency stopgap.  However, the negative volume can be manipulated like any other, although it's often easier to use the editable fields in the object manipulation pane on the right of the screen.

Cheerio,
