Move the EDIT SCALE button towards the top

Why do you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the Document > Rulers dialog box to get to Edit Scale?

Not useful when you have to change often.

    Should have posted earlier but here it is:

    Tools > Options > Custimization > Command Bars

    Click Command Bars > Check Context Menu Bar - A dialog appears (it may be small)

    Should say Workspace / Tools / Selection

    Then go back & Click Commands (you need to see the commands again)

    Type in 'Drawing' in the search box

    'Drawing Scale' appears

    Next comes the fun part & Dont let go

    Click and drag 'Drawing Scale' over Workspace, it should do a drop down

    You'll see 'Document Desktop' - that should open.

    This is where you drop it. Move as needed.

    Remember, if you want an icon you can always hold the Alt key, click the icon and drag where
    you want to make a copy of it by pressing CTRL. A plus + will show.

    To edit an icon faster, right click and do the properties thing
    it should bring you right to it instead of the long trail

    Customize > Toolbar Item > Properties


    This does make life way easier, i'll stay w/ CD for a little longer

    I was just thinking about this yesterday when I had to scroll to the scale in 15 consecutive drawings. I wish the scale could also be a 'right click' menus option, or one I could stick to the control bar. Anywhere is better than buried where it is.
