Change the scale of the document's rulers
As you've just done for the dimensioning of objects, I'd like to be able to change the scale at which I draw my document by right-clicking in the ruler. I work in technical illustration and draw images of very large machines (20 to 150 m). I have to use CorelDraw (which has always had this function) and copy them into Illustrator to rework them.

It should not be limited to only per document! There are cases when you need to show multiple scales in one document, so "per Layer" and "per Document." It should also support custom scales and imperial architectural (fractional) scales, not just metric. In addition, it would be great to have a scale calculator in case you do not know the original scale but have a reference dimension. If we ask for this feature, let's account for all potential users!

Yes Thiago, good idea !

I agree, per document will be enough. We can have some dimensions for smaller objects too, like 2:1, 10:1.

Hello Egor,
I would prefer to be able to choose the scale of the document, such as 1.2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 or 1:100. -
There are several existing requests about custom scales here at UserVoice.
Would you prefer to be able to assign custom scales per document, or per layer, or per artboard, or perhaps somehow differently?
