title
miniScale

The miniscale macro adds a mini scale box to your pattern. This box allows users to verify their pattern is printed to scale. The white inside of the box provides a metric scale, and the black outside of the box provides an imperial scale.

A miniscale is the mini version of the scalebox macro.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).

Signature

macro('miniscale', {
  Point at,
  Number rotate,
  Boolean force = false,
})

Example

```js ({ Point, macro, part }) => {

macro('miniscale', { at: new Point(0,0), })

return part }

</Example>

## Configuration

| Property    | Default | Type                | Description |
|------------:|---------|---------------------|-------------|
| `at`        |         | [Point](/reference/api/point) | The point to anchor the _scale box_ on |
| `rotate`    | 0       | Number              | Rotation in degrees |
| `force`      | `false`    | `boolean`  | Set this to `true` to display the macro output even when `complete` is `false` |

## Notes

This macro takes the `complete` setting into account and won't output anything when both complete and `force` are `false`.
