How to scale the ruler

Online HELP says to go to FORMAT - AXIS - Y-AXIS - etc. But there is no AXIS option under FORMAT

Which Online Help tells this (seems you have read a chapter about calc charts)?

Hello,

There are two settings which affect the ruler in draw:

1. Unit of measurement

Open Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Draw -> General -> Drop Down: Unit of measurement (see screenshot below)

This can also be changed quite quickly by right clicking the ruler and selecting the desire unit of measurement.

2. Drawing Scale

Open Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Draw -> General -> Drop Down: Drawing Scale


Hope that helps.

In Draw, in the menu select Tools > Options > LibreOffice Draw > General and select a scale for your drawing, e.g. 1:50
