Measurements and scale

Setting length factor in document settings does not affect the measurement tools in the document. Clearly a mistake.

If you do : 100.58*0.08117 then you find 8.16. This is what you see on the dimension so it does not look like a mistake from LibreCAD...

The length factor modify only the value of dimension not the actual size of the entity. If you want to do that then you need to scale the part.

It's a bad idea. When I change the size of the picture (scale)  it disappears.

I joined your threads about this issue.

Also I got your point about this, but I wouldn't call it a bug.
Dimensions and measurement are different tools and I see pros and cons for both solutions, the current way and your interpretation.

I'll gonna create a feature request for this.
My idea is to implement a checkbox in application preferences, "use dimension scale for measurement".
This option allows the user to choose what the measuring tools should show.

The scaled picture returns after doing an Autozoom.
This has been fixed in the latest 2.2.0 RC version.
