I don't think I have ever seen that done in an automated way.  So the answer is probably that is current not possible to do that. Though, you can have a look at the Electric user's guide to see if the functionality to do that is described in there in case I overlooked it.

If your lambda rules are still fine and it is just a matter of you scaling the real unit, you may be able to change that with scale.  Refer to:

You may also be able to scale by changing the old technology to new one as explained at:

https://www.staticfreesoft.com/jmanual/mchap08-08.html

However, you may have to ignore or update your DRC rules for the new technology as explained at:

Hi,

I saw all the videos, my question  is not just changing  the sizes, which I could do with ctrl I. But how to avoid re-layout in an automated  way when transistor size changes without re-drc and  optminal  area ( assuming  the first layout  was area optimal)

    I could be wrong as it been quite some time since I did an Electric
    layout, but I thought one (or more) of the tutorials at [1] went over
    changing the wire sizes (e.g., metal, poly) and transistor sizes
    in the
    layout.  It might have been tutorial 3. Have you went through the
    tutorials to see if your questions were answered in one of them?
