Distance tools scale box size

Post by capn_buzzcut »

I use the new distance tools to measure blueprints. Common architectural scales include 1/4"=1', 1/8"=1', and so on. I can enter a scale into the box, such as 0.125", but it only displays 2 decimal places, rounded off. However, the correct scale will be utilized, and will show in the pop-up box.

You could set 1 in = 4 in or 1 in = 8 in as the scale.

I can work around it without a problem, but since the distance tool will apparently accept and correctly calculate distance out to several decimal places, wouldn't it make sense to make the scale box just a little bigger?
