It is nice in VW 2014 that if you measure an object in a sheet layer Viewport it now reads at the scale of the viewport, not the sheet scale of 1:1.
The next thing I would like is either a preference or an object Info palette checkbox option to "Show Dimension Values at Scale of Viewport" when on a sheet layer.
I know that you can always annotate a viewport to have dimensions appear at the right scale, but it is several extra steps, and sometimes I would like to just add a simple dimension right on the sheet layer, but have it display the correct value.
Obviously the correct value is available, as it displays with the tape measure tool, so why couldn't you just check a box on the OIP for a dimension to display at the viewport scale?
Or another way would be to have a scale pulldown in the OIP for dimension display, so you could draw something at any scale, but tell the dimension what scale you want it to display in, and it would do the conversion.
