Surprised I'm asking this question this many years into 9, but is there any way to print a map to scale?

The best I've come up with is trying to zoom the layout on screen to match actual print size using a handheld ruler as a guide. Then zoom the map within the layout such that say one 1" = 100' using a drawing containing a 100' line as a guide. Needless to say, this method is painful.

You create a Location at the scale you want and in the Layout you select your frame, then double-click it and then select that Location.
