Takeoff Tab Scale Display

Scale is referenced on a regular basis for verification purposes however, the scale displayed at the bottom of the Takeoff Tab information bar is backwards and not useful.

When setting the architectural scale on any drawing the system uses a normal fraction of an inch per foot. The problem is that it is not displayed the same way on the bottom information bar.

It seems like it would be quite a simple item to change in order to make verifying a drawing's scale very quick and universally the same.

In my 28 years of construction experience I've never worked on drawings that displayed the scale backwards as ProContractor currently does. Shouldn't ProContractor also display the scale in the normal and universal method?
