Measurement Prompt

On older version:

When the measurement scale wasn’t set on a PDF, adding a measurement markup used to trigger a prompt asking me to set the scale first.

In the newer version of Bluebeam, that prompt no longer appears, and the measurement markup disappears. Now, I have to set the measurement scale before adding any measurement markup.
Does anyone else see this?

I still see a prompt for a scale if one isn't already defined when attempting to measure. Not seeing what you're seeing. Curious if something is disabled or blocking the scale dialog.

Thanks for confirming@Ken Phelps. I should review the settings to see if it is turned off.
