Add on to the side someplace the current active scale.

I normally have files with two or more scales in it and hate having to click four time to get down to scales is irritating.

    The "Drawing Scale" functionality exists in CorelDRAW, and you can bring it to the main UI by customizing the workspace.
    Go to Tools > Options > Customization... and Select "Commands".
    Then, type in "scale" in the Search bar - the "Drawing Scale" command will appear at the top of the list. Drag it to wherever you want it in the UI (e.g., to the Property Bar with no selection/tool active, next to the Units command - as in the attached screenshot).
    Confirm the customization by clicking OK in the Options dialog. The change will be stored with the active workspace when you exit the application.

    Yes. I am shocked something like wasn't added. I am tired of constantly going and checking what my scale is set to while working. Should be visible on the bottom bar.

    I would like the scale change used in the drawing to be in the Properties Bar, or have a faster way to get to the scale window, otherwise it is possible that, at least after defined, the scale would be visible in the Properties Bar.
