Default Scale symbol - not useable?

Seems to work OK. Just to make sure of the obvious, you did not choose the
metric annotation stencil?

The scale symbol is a little weird in design. It has indicated values at
both ends, the middle (1/2 way point) and then at 3/5 of the 1/2 way point.
So, at your 1/4" scale, the most meaningful displayed results are for a scale
whose length goes to 10'. Then you get numbers: 0, 3, 5, & 10.

have a page wtih a scale at 1/4" = 1'-0". I can't get the increments/numbers
on the scale to come anywhere close to anyting logical in relation to 1/4"
