Measure Tool "Assign Drawing Scale" ignored (split)

[Gatada]

Seems "Measure Tool" is also messed up. Is that also fixed in the beta? Not mentioned.

Thanks for the video. I can now replicate this on Mac and Windows. To avoid this problem please select the artboard in the layer panel before using the measure tool on your rectangle. It seems the Assign drawing scale needs an artboard selected and does  to not understand objects selected is on an artboard which means you are scaling the whole artboard it is sitting on.

It is not fixed in the beta. I am not aware if this had been reported before.

Aha, thanks for the tip! I still hope this can be fixed fairly soon as it's a tool I rely on quite often.
