Combining maps with disparate scales #396

Open dg0yt opened 10 years ago

dg0yt commented 10 years ago

gandym01 reported on Sourceforge [tickets:#396]:

In cases where two maps that have different scales are combined, via either cut and paste or File >> Import, the user is asked _The Scale of the imported data is 1:X which is different from this map's scale of 1:Y. Rescale imported data?_, with an option of Yes or No. This dialogue does not give the user the option of scaling the spatial distribution of points without scaling the symbols themselves (which is always what I want to do).

I suggest this dialogue be replaced with the _How shall the symbols of the imported template map be scaled?_ dialogue, which is triggered when using the Import and Remove function.

This could be unified indeed.

While playing with loading one map as a template while drawing another map, I also noticed that it's very important to have exactly the same reference point on both maps. Otherwise they are not overlayed on exactly the location where they should. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or whether it's suppose to work that way.

@dominikzalewski: Your comment is unrelated to the symbol scaling issue. Open a separate issue, maybe add sample files and steps to reproduce.
