Coreldraw x7 - Guidelines and scales

Coreldraw x7 - Guidelines seem to automatically adjust to the scale of the document.

Example - I have a document set with rulers at mm and a scale of !:50. If I add a guideline on the guideline tab of say 200mm - corel adds the guideline successfully to the drawing at 200mm - BUT then lists it in the Guideline tab as its page distance of 4mm.

Is there any way to get it to show its scale distance (200mm)???

That is a sad, sad shortcoming of the Guidelines docker - and that shortcoming is still present in CorelDRAW 2018.

The "old school" way of working on the guidelines using Options>Document>Guidelines>Horizontal, etc. takes the document scale into consideration.

The Property Bar shown when a guideline is selected also takes the document scale into consideration.

The Guidelines docker does not!

I really wish that Corel would give the Guidelines docker just a little bit of love to fix that. It's so close!

Thanks for answer - the only workaround i have found is to use a scale of 1:10/100 etc
