Fill global scale?

Fill global scale? [Why 3'-3 3/8"???]

[context: I'm in US using imperial dimensions]

Is there a global setting that establishes the base size of any given fill?

When I use the Fill tool, I find I need to constantly select the Custom Distortion option in order to scale a variety of fill patterns.

And, when I first click on the fill to start that adjustment process, the dimension of both x & y are set to 3'-3 3/8", which is an exceptionally weird number. I guess it's anchored to 1 meter, despite the US units of the template.

Can this starting scale for the fill be modified? Where do I find that setting?

[Or, are we limited to modifying Fills by their individual scales in the Fills dialog?]

Thanks!

Under options/element attributes/fills you'll find the fill settings

You can set the starting scale = pattern unit size

You can also use a fixed or scalable fill by the setting 'scale with plan' or 'scale independent' (model size or paper size)

cuba, would you mind showing a screenshot of a fill immediately after selecting the Custom Distortion option with the dimensional default showing?

like this:

This is what I see as the default "size" of any Fill when I select the Custom Distortion option.

My irritations are twofold:

1) it's a very large dimension for zooming out of a small detail drawing to access the click points

2) it's just a weird number that isn't useful in any way. A "whole number" like 1'-0" could be used as an easy base to scale to different sizes more intuitively.

If I can change this initial size, I'd be exceptionally excited to do so.

Thanks for your reply!
