[Qgis-user] Help with Composers

[Nigel Berjak - General]

Hi Derek

Below are two screenshots of the 2.x and 3.x Map tools, where Predefined 
scales can be inputted, either manually or possibly exported from 2.x 
and imported into 3.x. Open 2.x. or 3.x and on the main menu, select 
Settings, then click Options. On the screen that opens, select Map tools 
down the left panel. To the right of predefined scales you will find the 
Save button. Save the XML file and then, on 3.x, following the same 
process, try load the XML file saved.

2.x

3.x
