Roman Scales

The Four setting of the Roman scale type has three choices:

• IV, the standard four.
• IIII, which writes only the number 4 as IIII, so 14 reads XIV and 24 reads XXIV. This is the watchmaker’s four, and what a new Text Arc layer gets with the canvas Industry set to Horology.
• IIII All, which writes every number ending in four that way, so 14 reads XIIII and 24 reads XXIIII.

Existing files using IIII

A file saved with 2.1.4 or earlier using IIII on a scale that reaches 14 or more reads XIV where it read XIIII. Select IIII All to get the earlier result. Scales of 1 to 12 read the same.

Zero on Roman Scales

First Number accepts 0, and zero is written as the digit 0, since Roman numerals have no zero. A 24-hour dial can read 0, I, II up to XXIII, and a descending scale can end on 0. Values below 0 or above 3999 render as empty text.
