Scale Menu Toggle-to-Close Functionality [UI/UX Enhancement]

Additional Details

Objective:

Allow users to quickly open and close the scale selection menu by clicking the scale display area (e.g., “Not Scaled”) a second time, enabling faster verification of scale details without having to click elsewhere on the canvas.

Description:

Currently, when a user clicks the scale display area, the canned scale options menu appears. However, clicking the same scale display area again does not close the menu; the only way to dismiss it is to click outside of the menu. This is inefficient when users have zoomed in to check a scale bar or dimension line that is partially hidden behind the menu.

Enhancing the control to function as a toggle would allow users to open the menu, check the scale, quickly close it without losing their zoom or position, and then reopen it as needed.

Suggested Enhancements:

• Implement toggle-to-close behavior when clicking the scale display area again.
• Enable ESC key as a shortcut to close the scale menu without affecting the zoom or selection state.
• Preserve the menu’s scroll position so reopening returns to the same spot in the scale list.

Benefits:

• Improves speed and workflow efficiency when setting or confirming scale.
• Eliminates extra clicks and prevents loss of zoom/position context.
• Provides a smoother, more intuitive UI experience in high-zoom takeoff scenarios.
