Print Widget - Print with ArcGIS Server Map Scale Units change

[TimHayes]

How do I change the map scale units shown when I use this to export to PDF or other format? I see the scale is set to miles, I need to make it feet.

You'll need to set PrintParameters.layoutOptions.scaleBarOptions.nonMetricUnit.

Can I do this with a simple XML editor like ConText or WordPad? or do I need to recompile?

You would need to recompile the PrintWidget with this change to the PrintParameters inside ExportWebMapForm.mxml:

        <esri:PrintParameters id="printParameters"                               format="{formatsDDL.selectedItem}"                               layoutTemplate="{layoutTemplatesDDL.selectedItem}"                               map="{hostBaseWidget.map}"                               preserveScale="{scaleCheckbox.selected}">             <esri:layoutOptions>                 <esri:LayoutOptions id="layoutOptions">                     <esri:scaleBarOptions>                         <esri:ScaleBarOptions nonMetricUnit="esriFeet"/>                     </esri:scaleBarOptions>                 </esri:LayoutOptions>             </esri:layoutOptions>         </esri:PrintParameters>

What software do I need to compile?

                              preserveScale="{scaleCheckbox.selected}">
            <esri:layoutOptions>
                <esri:LayoutOptions id="layoutOptions">
                    <esri:scaleBarOptions>
                        <esri:ScaleBarOptions nonMetricUnit="esriFeet"/>
                    </esri:scaleBarOptions>
                </esri:LayoutOptions>
            </esri:layoutOptions>
        </esri:PrintParameters>

You would need to use Flash Builder to recompile the widget.

Any Idea how to recompile the widget so that you can enter feet units instead of an absolute scale in the print widget?
