Scale

The Scale tab is used to specify the minimum and maximum display scales, as well as the reference scale for the symbol.

Reference 1:

Type the reference scale for the symbol or tap to specify the current map scale. When blank, symbols are drawn at the specified symbol size. When not blank, the symbol size is based on the reference scale.

When you specify a reference scale, the symbol size changes as you zoom in or out.

The default is blank.

Show at all scales/Don’t show when zoomed

When Show at all scales is selected, the symbol is displayed regardless of the current map scale.

When Don’t show when zoomed is selected, the symbol is only displayed if the map scale is within the range specified in the In beyond 1 and Out beyond 1 fields.

The default is Show at all scales.

In beyond 1:

Type the maximum scale at which the symbol will be displayed or tap to specify the current map scale. When blank, the symbol is always displayed if the map scale is larger than the scale specified in the Out beyond 1 field. When a scale is specified, the symbol is not displayed if the map scale is larger than the scale specified in this field. For example, if this field is set to 1000, the symbol is displayed at a map scale of 1:1,001 but not at a map scale of 1:999. This field is only available when the Don’t show when zoomed option is selected.

The default is blank.

Out beyond 1:

Type the minimum scale at which the symbol will be displayed or tap to choose the current map scale. When blank, the symbol is always displayed if the map scale is smaller than the scale specified in the In beyond 1 field. When a scale is specified, the symbol is not displayed if the map scale is smaller than the scale specified in this field. For example, if this field is set to 5,000, the symbol is displayed at a map scale of 1:4,999 but not at a map scale of 1:5,001. This field is only available when the Don’t show when zoomed option is selected.

The default is blank.
