--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
The use case for scale as implemented today is basically to relieve the user
from conversion. You don't have to divide 6m by 20 as 3cm but just draw 60cm.
And the caption at dimension lines is set appropriately, of course.
Alternatively you may enlarge the document (limited to 300cm; tdf#39088) and
adjust the zoom level.

Attaching the scale value to the layer is out of question. You must not mix
different scales in one drawing. Having it per page, however, makes sense. It's
like dealing with different page sizes (which isn't possible today tdf#49787).
While such a feature would be beneficial for experts it adds a lot of
confusion. You need to think about zoom level, scale value, and page size to
understand a drawing. And that's all to just not open two documents? So finally
a scale value per document seems to be the best compromise (suggested in
tdf#66470). And the safest solution is to keep the feature where it is, a
global option.
