Adding the aeronautical scale bar

The Aeronautical Scale Bar tool creates a standard scale bar that can be customized.

Aeronautical scale bar example
Steps:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the main menu, click View > Layout View.
  3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Layout.
  4. Click the Aeronautical Scale Bar button Aeronautical Scale Bar on the Aeronautical Layout toolbar.

    A scale bar appears. By default, the scale bar represents the current focus map scale if it is not zero.

    NoteNote:

    The scale bar is not dynamically linked to the data frame properties; scale changes do not automatically update the scale bar element.
