Could you please get rid of “writable” function of the Scale selector in Layout? Why? Because: It’s faulty–selection does not represent the true scale. It has to be clicked several times to get the right scale set. I work with Architects and builders and we almost never rely on Scale–I don’t…

[image] jake_gevorgian: It’s alright with me to have user-specific scales, but being a person working with builders in UK, how often do you have to scale your drawings to 3/16”:1’ or 13:16”:1’ or even something berserk, say 3/64:2’??? Well, of course, being in the UK, we now use metric scales…

I’m quite confused by this post. If you never use scales, then a scale input not working as expected shouldn’t be an issue, because you never use it. You should be able to either type a scale or select one from the list. One shouldn’t in any way exclude the other. Personally I don’t think I’ve used…

Thanks for scraping the main important issue of my post and focusing on what I said about “who uses irregular scales anyway?” I don’t know the name of the current version, but in the following version I want you to give me an option in the settings preferences to be able to have: enable or disab…

If there is a bug that makes the dropdown not work in certain situations, that bug itself needs to be fixed. Having an option to hide the bug isn’t the right solution. You can see the version if you go to Help > About Layout. [2021-10-21_15h03_56]

Alright, the version is 21.1.278. Here’s a video of the issue… Dropbox - Video Oct 21, 7 13 47 AM.mov - Simplify your life But still, please work on the option I’ve suggested. It’s fair and I’m sure many will appreciate to have that option.

The video is not clear, instead use a screen capture app like LiceCap. It is FREE!

If the bug is tracked down and fixed, is there any other reason to disable the keyboard input? I don’t see how that would get in the way if you chose not to use it.

I typically rely on standard scales that already come with the LayOut. Most architects also rely on these standards, and that is why I’m suggesting to give an option in the settings to enable and disable the keyboard input. I want to see this option in the SketchUp app as well—that is, I want to ha…
