Dear All,
I see that 'Scale finder' will not work with versions of Windows later than XP.
After a quick search, I cannot find anything similar, only descriptions of how to work things out with pencil and paper, or something for converting representative fractions to X inches = 1 mile. I need to be able to work from inches/miles to get the representative fraction as well.
The possibility that something easy might exist, makes me shun the pencil and paper approach until I have consulted this group.
Is there anything else?
Best wishes,
David.
