scale names

I know the majority of users are making maps for games, and thus quite happy to use metres/feet, most of my maps are for my reference when writing and I'd love it if it were possible to rename the units of measurements and not just to imagine the fictitious measurements.
Is this like asking for 'pie in the sky' or is this a 'one-day it might happen?

You can draw your own scales. I used to just use a horizontal line, and several vertical lines. Then label them.
Are you talking about the measurements used by the program itself, or just visible text like on the scale bars?
You can explode the scale bar (the stick of dynamite symbol on the left), then edit the text to say whatever you want, change the font or color, etc.
It’s the symbols, Remy. I know how to adjust the numbers to vary the scale but not the words "feet" or "meters".
Then follow Maidhc O Casains advice about exploding them. This gives you access to the text so you can edit it.
And then you can regroup them.
Thanks everyone.
Or go to the Symbol Manager, and "Edit" the symbol in question. In there you can edit the labels with Edit Text.
Thanks everyone -- I've managed it. There's now a unit of measurement called "Chewa" on my map!
Is Bacca the measurement for weight? ?
