!Restored: Uniform scale menu

[Anonymous]

Anybody else bothered by the fact that the scale menus in plotmaker and archicad are reversed. One increases in drawing scale the other decreases. I'm constantly looking in the wrong place for the correct scale.
Can we get the menus to match?

Plotmaker drawing scale menu

i'm more bothered that the scale button in the window status bar doesn't pop-up automatically - it displays a window with . . . . a pop-up list. graphisoft just love to wear out our mice with this and many many other similar instances on the UI . . .

Millard,

it doesn't seem to be a problem in metrics.

The only good thing about the pop-up is if you need a custom scale, but that could be limited to ONLY if you need a custom scale.

exactly - 'custom' is not an insurmountable problem for a pop-up list.

Millard:

Your screen shot from PlotMaker shows the pop up list for Title Types, not the scale (which can be seen in the lower right of the image). The order for the Title Types is the same as their order in the Title Types folder in the Navigator. The scale pop up lists in ArchiCAD and PlotMaker are in the same order.

Hope this helps.

Thanks David,
That does help. I never thought about that it was just the list of title types that was out of order.
