373 Heather - September 4, 2001

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to include a scale bar on map images saved as a web page from Mappoint?

Answer:

As far as we can tell there is no way to get a scale bar on Web output. You can of course put drawing objects on the map. There is a "Show Size" option for one-dimensional objects line lines and polylines that helps you get the scale right. But be aware that building a scale bar using these drawing tools is tricky. For instance, if you use the text tool, you'll find that it doesn't behave the same as the other drawing tools when you change the zoom level.
