Set scale by clicking distance between two known dimensions in the plans

I am not sure if there is currently a way to do this. Maybe I missed it. However, I feel that it would be helpful to be able to set the scale based on a known plan measurement. Currently, it looks like you can set it based on a known measurement of 1" = 10.333', and you have to manually type this in. I would love to be able to set the scale based on two points in the drawing using a click from here to there, and this is a certain number of feet.


Example:


I have a detail that is "not to scale." However, there are known measurements on it. Being able to set a scale by clicking the start and end point of a measured length would be a nice addition.

Hi John, Are you using the Known Dimension tool in the scale drop down?
