What is the new scale ruler feature?

Once the scale has been set on a drawing, within the scale options there is now the option to display a scale ruler. The ruler shows increment values based on the current scale and level of zoom.

The values will adjust when zooming in and out to show the current scale of the drawing. This is useful to give you a visual display of the current scale of the drawing based on your current zoom level.
