 Based on my testing, Quick Plot is producing prints that are at the wrong
 scale. I've tested this out on v2.5 and v2.6. Results are below:

 v2.6 - Scalebar is correct, but actual scale of the layers on the print
 out are way off.
 Actual distance = 254m
 Quickplot (Fusion) PDF printed without resizing = 352m
 Firefox v33 AJAX Quickplot = 310m
 IE11 AJAX Quickplot = 320m

 v2.5 - Fusion seems to be giving correct results. AJAX is way off, in the
 other direction (compared to 2.6). AJAX gets you 218m, vs the actual 254m
 distance.

 More info on this - using v2.5, the fusion quickplot seems to give the
 correct scale. The AJAX quickplot is still wrong, though - the difference
 now is that it's off in the other direction...it's now smaller, rather
 than larger.  I'll put this all into a ticket - seems to be a bug that got
 introduced in 2.6 and hopefully can be fixed for the next release.

 - I'm unable to get prints that are correctly to scale in v2.5...using the
 Quick Plot widget in Fusion, I get my pdf complete with a nice scalebar.
 The scalebar is correct, but the plan is not. Here's a break down of what
 I've found to be the case:
