Scale

The Scale tab is used to specify the minimum and maximum display scales of the layer and the reference scale for the layer’s symbols and label text.

Reference 1:

Type the reference scale for the layer’s symbols and label text or tap to choose the current map scale. When blank, symbols and labels are drawn at the specified symbol and font size. When not blank, the symbol and label size is based on the reference scale.

When you specify a reference scale, the symbol and label text size change as you zoom in or out.

The default is blank.

Show layer at all scales/Don’t show layer when zoomed

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

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

The default is Show layer at all scales.

In beyond 1:

Type the maximum scale at which the layer will be displayed or tap to choose the current map scale. When blank, the layer is always displayed when the map scale is larger than the scale specified in the Out beyond 1 field. When not blank, the layer is not displayed when the map scale is larger than the scale specified in this field. For example, if this field is set to 100, the layer is displayed at a map scale of 1:101 but not at a map scale of 1:99. This field is only available when the Don’t show layer when zoomed option is selected.

The default is blank.

Out beyond 1:

Type the minimum scale at which the layer will be displayed or tap to choose the current map scale. When blank, the layer is always displayed when the map scale is smaller than the scale specified in the In beyond 1 field. When not blank, the layer is not displayed when the map scale is smaller than the scale specified in this field. For example, if this field is set to 12,000, the layer will be displayed at a map scale of 1:11,999 but not at a map scale of 1:12,001. This field is only available when the Don’t show layer when zoomed option is selected.

The default is blank.
