I have been trying to set up a wms and testing it in ArcGIS, in general
everything works fine but I have some inconsistencies in that I can't figure
out. First, the min and max scales defined in the mapfile layer object is
not consistent with the min and max scale values in ArcGIS
My mapfile:
#local 2 test
LAYER
DATA umap_display_data/orn_local_label
NAME "local_label"
METADATA
"WMS_TITLE" "ORN Test Local Labels"
"WMS_ABSTRACT" "ORN Local Labels"
"WMS_EXTENT" "523500 4716500 810000 5002600"
"WMS_SRS" "epsg:26917"
END
GROUP "Road Labels"
TYPE ANNOTATION
STATUS OFF
MAXSCALE 100000
MINSCALE 500
LABELMAXSCALE 100000
LABELMINSCALE 500
LABELITEM "A_ST_NAME"
CLASS

COLOR 145 15 25
OUTLINECOLOR 253 253 253
TYPE truetype
FONT arial
SIZE 8
ANGLE Auto
POSITION cc
MINDISTANCE 500
BUFFER 5
END
END
END
When this is displayed in ArcGIS the minscale values turn to 667 and max
values turn to 133,333.
I thought this could be a projection issue but all my data is in a zone 17n
utm nad 83 projection.
The other issue I am having is layer status. I believe the status is
defined client side and by default on. When I add the wms to ArcGIS some
layers have their status on some have status off with no correlation to what
is defined in the mapfile.
I've attached a copy of my .map, any help would be much appreciated
