Not sure: Bug or feature request. However - it's right now confusing :-)

It would be nice if the scale format list would respond to the "Measurement System (for line types and hatch patterns)" setting.

If my setting is Metric:

1:1

1:2

1:5 etc etc

If my settings is imperial:

1"=1"

1"=2"

1"=4" etc etc

Can you please be more specific? What is the "scale format list"? Is that in the preference dialog? Property editor? Options toolbar? I couldn't reproduce so far. Thanks.

Thanks, yes that helps.

An imperial drawing unit (Inch) should never really be used in combination with a metric measurement system.

BTW: You can always enter 1:10 or 1/10 or 0.1 in for the scale.

Closure comment

Metric measurement system in combination with imperial drawing unit not supported.
