Unless I use the zoom plus/minus tool for zooming, the scale of the map is not honored when I use the print widget. My basemap is cached to engineering scales (i.e. 1:2400, 1:1200, 1:600 etc). I am using state plan coordinates. I have the scale widget showing in the map.
- If I zoom in with the wheel, the map shows, for example, a scale of 100 ft. But it prints at a scale of 1" = 104 ft (1:1,250).
- If I zoom to a selected feature (pre-set to zoom to 1:1200), the map displays correctly but again the print widget messes up the scale
- If I zoom to a selected feature, then click the zoom out/zoom in, and then print, the scale on the print is accurate.
- Or if I just zoom in/out with the zoom widget and then print, the scale is always correct on the printed map.
How do I control the scale properties between the map and a print so that the printed page ALWAYS shows an accurate scale?
- I have modified the "Output spatial reference" in the Template common settings of the print widget
- I have disabled zoom in/out with wheel
Not printing to scale is a show-stopper.
