Hi Both Sorry, I am not very Tech savvy.
Alex, I tried opening the Settings on both the QGIS and the project page and putting in 50000 on the scale bit, but unfortunately there was no difference on the "item properties" on the project bit? Nigel, I do not understand where I find the project/global reference scales, therefore have no idea (2,x and import into 3.x), sorry I am utterly lost on this. Please help with basic pointers? Thanks for trying Derek Beddis ________________________________ From: Nigel Berjak - General <ni...@s3.co.za> Sent: 05 December 2024 08:17 To: DEREK Beddis <derek_bed...@hotmail.com> Cc: QGIS-user@lists.osgeo.org <QGIS-user@lists.osgeo.org>; Alexandre Neto <senhor.n...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Help with Composers Hi Derek As per Alex's email, you can input them manually for a project. You may also be able to export your defined project/global reference scales from 2.x and import them into 3.x. Good luck. --- Regards, Nigel Berjak Please consider the environment before printing this email.

I can't remember if it was in the same place in 2.18, but currently you can configure your prefered scales in th global options. Settings > Options > Map tools > predefined scales.

But on downloading my info I managed to get the raster project fine, then I opened the New Composer, transferred the map over OK, but when I entered the Composition details that was OK, but then I wanted to change the scale on the "Item Properties" and found a totally different system? I used to be able to put in 50,000 or 25000, now it is a 10 digit number, which makes no sense to me? I am totally lost, tried various things but getting nowhere. I would like scales of 50000 down to 10000, how do I do it Please?
