The widget respects various coordinate systems and displays units in metric or non-metric values.
It is labeled with its ground length, usually in multiples of map units, The scale bar in ArcGIS Pro provides a visual indicator of the size and distance between features on a map. A window will appear that shows different styles of scale bars. Marks visually show the scale bar divisions as lines on the bar. You must be in layout view, with the data frame properties set (proper coordinate system, scale, and reference scale). Click the arrow buttons to set the number of divisions. If and where the scale bar is divided is determined by the set number of Divisions and Subdivisions on the Properties tab. Locator maps are often smaller scale maps with an extent rectangle. The areas left in white space, shaded in blue are perfect spots for extra map elements – scale bar, title block, inset map, text, charts, etc. As a result, when you zoom in and out on the map, different layers on the map may turn on or off depending on their suggested visible range.Finally, inset maps are a completely visual way to show map scale by including surroundings.
To update the visible range, you can set it manually. If you are adding data to a map that includes a predefined visible range, the map will use that visible range. You can also specify a visible range for labeling features in a layer. Your map may contain many layers, each with its own visible range. Because most data does not need to be shown across all zoom levels, it is a good practice to confirm, and if necessary, change the visible range. Specifying the zoom level at which content is drawn is known as setting the visible range. Multiscale maps allow you to view geographic data across a range of scales-also known as zoom levels-from buildings to the entire globe.
Setting the transparency based on attribute values in the data allows you to vary how much transparency is applied to each location based on a numeric attribute. When styling a layer using most smart mapping styles, you can set the transparency per feature in a layer if you have numeric or date data associated with the locations. Set transparency based on attribute values If you own the map, click Save and open and click Save on the Contents (dark) toolbar to save the transparency setting to the map.In the Transparency section, move the transparency slider to the left (less transparent) or right (more transparent).On the Settings (light) toolbar, if necessary, click Properties.In the Layers pane, click the layer to select it.In Map Viewer, open the map containing the layer or add the layer directly.Confirm that you are signed in and, if you want to save your changes, that you have privileges to create content.
