Zoom to Scale Command

The Zoom to Scale command allows you to change the scale of the map to match a printed map.

To change the map scale, do the following:

1. View a Map.
2. Then, do one of the following:
   • On the Map menu, point to Zoom, and click Zoom to Scale.
   • Press : Colon.

The Zoom to Scale dialog will appear. Enter the new scale of the map.

Notes

• Topo Maps and Aerial Photos can only be viewed at fixed scales, which correspond to the number of meters per pixel in the map image.
• To print a topo map or aerial photo at a standard map scale (1:24000, e.g.), see the Print Map dialog.
