To Define a Scale Range

The first step in creating styles for geospatial features is to define your scale ranges. Each layer in Display Manager has a default scale range, which you can adjust.

To define scale ranges

  1. In Display Manager , right-click a feature layer.
  2. Click Edit Style to display the Style Editor.
  3. In the Style Editor, in the Scale Ranges area, under From, enter the lower end of the scale range. Under To, enter the upper end of the scale range.

    For example, to make a style visible when the map is zoomed anywhere between 1:250,000 and 1:5,000,000, enter 250000 for From and enter 5000000 for To.

  4. To add a new scale range, click Add A Scale Range.
  5. Specify From and To values.
  6. When working with scale ranges:
    • To copy a scale range, select the range and click Duplicate.
    • To delete a scale range, select the range and click Delete.
    • To change the position of a scale in the list, select the range and click Move Up or Move Down.
