I installed the new beta, build 41, and I wanted to try the new measuring tool capability (looking for new ability to enter fractions, e.g. 1/8"...)
On the previous version the toolbar had fields that came up when I selected a measuring tool. On this beta, I can't seem to find where to change/set the scale.
Attached is a snip of my toolbar, I hope I'm not staring right at it...
How do I change the scale on the measuring tools?

Yes, it has disappeared from the Properties toolbar for no obvious reason.
You can now change it in the Comment Style Palette, which is found at the bottom of the Comment menu. Select the distance tool, click on its large icon (top right), and the properties toolbar at the bottom of the window has the scale options.

Hmmm... OK, found it- THANKS. Wonder why it has been moved so far away...
No ability to enter fractions yet, though, I thought I heard "next build" a while back, but I guess not.
Thanks for the tip.

It is our mistake, will return it back on Properties Bar into next build.Yes, it has disappeared from the Properties toolbar for no obvious reason.
We didn't add ability to enter fractions because still have no acceptable way how to represent this into UI.No ability to enter fractions yet, though, I thought I heard "next build" a while back, but I guess not.
