Two new, linked changes have just gone live:
- The main cluster of map controls has been significantly simplified, with the style, contour option, scale and paper size each being switched to a drop-down selector. This saves a whole pile of space and makes the next item easier:
- Custom map scales are now possible – select “custom” from the map scale drop-down to get a new dialog where a custom scale can be added.

The help files will be updated in due course to reflect this change. I think I’ve tested most things so everything should work, but if not please leave a comment and I’ll take a look. I’ll keep the backup site on the old version for a little while in case I’ve broken something significant.
To follow: Custom paper sizes.
