When I zoom to the origin, the scale markers are visible, but once I zoom
to like x-axis around 50 units, the markers disappear after a certain zoom
level.
I don't know if I am the only one facing this problem.
Is there a fix for the same

Hi Sanjeev,

cube (10);
translate([6500,0,0])cube(10);

the markers appear beyond the objects, which seems good enough. I'm not
sure if it would be an advantage if they gave continuos higher
resolution as you zoomed in.

Hi Ray,

If I zoom to the cube which is placed at [6500,0,0], I don't see any
markers in my openscad version.

In some cases I need to know the approximate position of the object or
points in the object. Although It is possible to find other ways to find
the same, it would be convenient to have this feature working.

Regards

Depends on the use case, I suppose. Working with 3D-scanned STL files as much as I do, higher resolution on zoom-in would be VERY handy.
