Ability to print to scale

the ability to print from Alloy at selected scales (including 1:500, 1:1,000, 1:1250, 1:1500, 1:2000, 1:2500) has been requested by our users - this functionality was included in Street Lighting Mayrise and is being missed now that we're using Alloy. Ideally, maps included in Reports should also be printed to scale.

    Hi, Thank you for your idea. Printing maps from applications like Alloy that display mapping in Web Mercator format, which is suited to displaying maps for the whole world rather than just the UK, can be a challenge as the scale horizontally and vertically will be different when highly zoomed out. The relative scale will also be dependant on the screen resolution and printing size which is why, when using the print screen button on the map, we include the scale is included as a guide.

    We'll explore the option of defining the scale on maps included in reports and move this idea forward if that is possible.
