[Qgis-user] representing scale

[ambrish dhaka]

Dear all,
                I am working with SRTM data with lonlat and WGS84 projection system. I wish to put up a scale that shows kilometres. Usually in ArcGIS you give units and there is automatic conversion. But, if I try to change the units on CRS window from degrees to metres the scale does not change and it shows the same degree distance labeling as metres, which is horrible.
Urgent assistance needed.
Thanks!
