FW: MINSCALE & MAXSCALE Units

[Julian Parker]

Greetings list,

 

It was my assumption that I could set UNITS as meters in a layer and
that the MIN & MAX SCALE values would utilize these units. This does not
seem to be the case - a MAXSCALE value of 12000 on one layer will have
the layer display at 3936m zoom. Another layer with a MAXSCALE of 10000
will display at 3280m zoom. The 'scale factor' equals about 3.05. How is
it that this 'scale factor' can be altered or the units used for scale
changed? What am I missing?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards
