Map Distance Scale Properties Dialog Box, General
Select General on the Map Distance Scale Properties dialog box to define basic properties for the distance scale for a map.

The distance scale range and values are automatically calculated based on the viewport boundaries, projection type, and zoom level. Click the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the value of the option.
