not sure I'd want a shortcut for scaling objects... I'd hate to bump that key.
Do you do a lot of scaling?
I'm almost exclusively scaling by 25.4 to get from mm to inch. Maybe a "x 25.4" and "/ 25.4" buttons next to the existing up/down arrow buttons would be helpful
The Form1+ software has a very nice feature... when it sees a very small object is imported it asks if you want to use inches or mm. Just click "inches" and it rescales. I've already messed up one print on the Zortrax by typing 24.5 instead of 25.4. User friendly seems to be a Zortrax theme... I'm sure they will add such a feature sometime soon.

Why not just have design software export in mm? That's what I do.. I can't draw in mm.. lol
That's more clicks. I'm using an old version of Inventor and as far as I know, it doesn't give you the option to design in inches and export in mm. I have to change the document settings each time I create a .STL if I did it that way. Its actually faster for me to change it in the Zortrax software each time. The Form1 requires only one click. Simplify 3D, which is the software I use on my open source FFF printer, lets you pick inches or mm in the settings so it always uses the one you selected there. That's essentially zero extra clicks which is even better.

Mine only gives me the option for resolution. Its Inventor 11 (not 2011). I think its around 10 years old or so now. Thanks for checking on that for me though.
