ArcGIS Pro- Scale Bar- Ability to set scale maximum via a dialogue/properties

[Amanda__Huber]

Hello ArcGIS Pro Team, 

We'd like the ability to set the scale bar max value through a dialogue/properties. Currently clicking and dragging the box size is cumbersome and requires a degree of tedius precision to set the scale to the maximum you desire. In our opinion this would improve map making efficiency and be a great enhancement to the software. 

Thanks so much, 

Amanda Huber

Use the Fitting Strategy property set to "Adjust width" in order to control the exact number of units to display in the scale bar. This is on the Element pane that opens when you right-click the scale bar and choose Properties.

Yeah, combining Fitting Strategy with the Placement tab is how I normally tackle this problem.
