            Bug ID: 142738
           Summary: Dialog box at Tools➔Options➔LibreOffice Draw➔General
                    missing drawing scale for Imperial units
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nelsonch650 at gmail.com

Description:
The available "Drawing Scale" options in the drop down box are missing common
scales for Imperial units used in scale blueprints and engineering rulers. See
the section titles "United States and Imperial units" at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler for a list of typical scales used in
the United States.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the menu to navigate to the dialog box at Tools➔Options➔LibreOffice
Draw➔General
2. Try to select an Imperial units scale of 1:12, 1:24, 1:32, 1:48, 1:64, 1:96
or 1:128


Actual Results:
Only 1:4, 1:8, and 1:16 Imperial units ratios are available, the other scales
common on an imperial units scale ruler are missing.

Expected Results:
I should be able to select a common Imperial units scale.  Another option would
be to provide an interface option for a custom scale so the user can directly
enter the antecedent and consequent values as an alternative to choosing from a
list of provided scale ratios.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
See the typical Imperial units scale ratios at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler.
