My memory may be somewhat cloudy but I don't believe the scale reference tool is working correctly. I recall in V8i SS4 that when using the By Points method, one could set the scale for the reference just as per the Scale tool for elements (using 3 Points method) and clicking anywhere on the reference. The steps I have been using are:
- Reference is selected in ref dialog manager
- Activate scale reference tool and set method to By Points
- 1st data point defines origin of scale
- 2nd data point defines reference point
- 3rd data point defines where data point 2 should now be thus applying the scale increase/decrease
The problem is that once the 2nd data point is clicked, as soon as I move the cursor the in direction of scaling, the interactive preview of the reference does not match the cursor. It appears to somehow 'jump' for whatever reason
I also checked applying Treat Attachment as Element and using the Scale tool. It works fine using the 3 points method if proportional is set to off, turn it on and the same irregular behaviour appears.
Is this a known bug or is there a setting elsewhere in the design file/application that I have forgotten to apply?
