Thank you Alex. This worked half. I need to move the decimal place 2 places (X100). I only can move it one (x10). The problem is that I get a very long scale bar otherwise. Or it displays 528 instead of 5280 (feet per mile). I guess I may have to wait for a fix. In the meanwhile I will use 100 feet as scale. Nice to know I found a bug. Thanks again for your quick response Jake

As a workaround I think you can move everything over a decimal place (so x10) and then adjust the segment size/number of units per segment to come out to what you want.
