2DY vs Yardstick

[gmangnall]

The 2D yardstick seems to be calibrated correctly - and matched items measure in the mission editor however the yardstick does not match the editor or the 2DY. Here the centre of the 2 tanks are 100ft (30m) apart as is the centre of the building. The 2DY correctly measures that, however the yardstick is showing only 20m and should be showing close to 30m if measured to the centre of the 4 lines but at least 25m is the measure is for the actual line itself.......it's defintely more then 20m.

very interesting - I've always wondered if the yardstick circle was correct. Following this one.

EDIT:

 I just tested it out. I put 3 tanks in a line, 200 ft apart. And it looks like this. 16 mtrs is 52.5 ft.   The yardstick should be 100ish ft. So it seems to be double what it says it is.

Thanks for reporting this. The bug has been found and fixed. It should be fixed with the next patch.
