This is an issue staring with drafting. That is, if I am drawing a bridge whose basic structural objects are large (10s of feet long), then the internal representation of the bridge holds all lines, cicles, etc. in these large units. Then, when I want to print out, I can't because the basic drawing would require thousands of individual sheets of paper tiling the entire drawing. It also means that I can't put into the drawing a detailed view (say) of a subsection of the bridge at a different scale. But that's an advanced feature. . . . . The concept of scale factor *does* exist in the program, I just suspect that it is a feature which isn't fully implemented yet. I would like to fix a few other things first (by sending in patches), and then I don't mind looking at the scale issue.
