Description: The basic problem is that no distinction is made between "default scale" and "document scale". Draw saves scales (for dimensions) on a per document basis as when re-oppened the scale initially used for that document is used independently of my currently set default values (a good feature). The problem is not the behaviour, but the interface which lets me change the "options" for scale. This means that if I want to change the scale used for the current document, I must change the scale on the "options" dialog, and re-save the document. The problem with this approach is that I have also effectively changed the default scale for new documents (not necessarily an intended behaviour on the user's part). Steps to Reproduce: 1 Open an existing draw document with a set scale 2.Change the scale in option and save the document 3.Create a new draw document Actual Results: Creating a new document uses the new scale Expected Results: In this specific scenario the intended result was to change the scale of only the opened document. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: More appropriately, the scale in the "options" dialog should be reworded as "default scale", and only affect the scale for new documents. A new "document scale" property should be accessible (maybe through the "format page" interface) to change the scale of the current document separately form the "default scale".
