- Upon selecting Recalculate Units option, the recalculated new values based on the new scaling configuration are displayed together with the old values for you to verify before changing.
- If you select "Yes" to proceed with the change, the new values will be set but it gets applied when you select "Apply/OK".
- If you select "No" to cancel the change, the old values are retained. You can either select the Recalculate Units again or manually change those configurations based on the new scaling.
