Before the 1:1 and 1:5 were both on the orange side with the 1:2 on the blue side. My new one has a completely different order pattern and no longer has a 1:3 scale opting for a 1:75 instead. What the hell, who even uses a 1:75 scale. I am constantly flipping the scale to find what I am looking for.

Going forward I will trust no one. (or I could start firing people and going through their equipment when the turn it in to find out who stole it)
Who uses a scale bar in this day and age? I might use mine to draw a straight line on a concept sketch. There are a bunch of old guys in my office using magnifying glasses all the time....open the computer file and zoom in!

The other day I actually used a 1 to 75 scale for a drawing. Of course I'd laugh at anyone who tried to scale off a drawing when I give them a model viewer file with all drawings attached, and you can make any measurement you need from the model.
