Load Visualization: Relative Scale

User: "AM_20700"

Is there a way to apply a display scale per load or per load collector? When I change the size of one load, all the loads scale accordingly.

In the image below, the horizontal load is a 6 kN force, the vertical (down) load is a 34 kN force, and the vertical (up) load is a 50 kN-m torque.

I'm using a [t, mm, N, MPa] unit system so the 50 kN-m torque is a 5*10^7 kN-mm torque, and the displayed arrow is too large to properly view all the applied loads. If I scale the torque display scale down, the other loads scale down too and I can't see them. If I scale the small force, the other loads scale up too.
I want to either scale the loads individually, or display the all the loads with the same sized arrow. Is that possible?

    The scale, if set to percentage, will be applied the same to all loads.

    The only workaround here is to define a uniform sizing for all your loads (non-proportional)

    Another thing that might be useful here is pixel based scaling with min/max, in the preferences:
