Hi,

Identical scale expression used in Print Preview like 5:1, 5/1, 5"=1", 5 are working flawless like expected.
Same expression used in a Viewport scale leads to different outcomes.

The Property Editor used to fix that in Paper_Space does also not accept those standard expressions.

I'll see if that can be supported in the future.

Did that work in a previous version though? I don't think so...

I haven't recognized that before but a quick check tells me: No, that wasn't working in previous versions.

OK, thanks. I've changed this to a feature request. Expressions like "1:2" or "5”=1”" could be supported but would then be evaluated and shown a float number after hitting enter, tab or after clicking somewhere else. there's no scale string in viewports to save what the user has entered.

Ok, understood. I mentioned that because I think a user should be able to use the same expression.
