Can't dimension on calibration

When I'm trying to calibrate this canvas, if I zoom in and drop a point, then zoom out and drop another point, I don't get any way to dimension or calibrate the line.  If I don't zoom I can calibrate but I can't get in close enough.

 

It seems like a bug?

I can verify on my computer. It looks like if you zoom in tight and the first point leaves the screen, the dimension box does not show up.

You can always do it the old fashion way.

Place a couple of sketch points.

Measure.

Edit the Canvas and Scale...

thanks for sharing that, @paulmcevoy75 .  I can verify the behavior (although it appears to be a bit unpredictable - sometimes I see the dimension box, other times no).  But, I did find out that, even when the edit box is not visible it is still there (somewhere) and you can type in a value, and the canvas will respond.  I realize that this is only marginally helpful, but it can at least let you make progress, if you are willing to type blind...  

 

I created bug FUS-97616 for this issue.

 

BTW, I love the design it looks like you are trying to build here - love the double lap steel!
