Abb. 50 Example - Configuration within the section "Scale" of the element properties
The value of scale start will be inserted at the left bound of the scale. Thus it has to be
less than the value of scale end that will be entered at the right bound of the scale. In
contrast to the main scale the finer sub scale may be omitted by setting the value of its
fragmentation to 0. In that case no small scale pitches would be displayed. As we
deactivated the checkbox "Frame inside", the inner arc of the scale display has
disappeared in our example.
After defining the scaling range we have to design the display of the scaling labels
within section "Label".
Abb. 51 Example - Configuration within the section "Label" of the element properties
By changing the "LabelPosition" from OUTSIDE to INSIDE we cause the labeling to be
displayed at the inner side of the scaling arc. The entry in the edit field "Unit" is
displayed below the root point of the arrow. Having chosen the appropriate (colour of
the) font, we adjust the format of the labels: the numeric scale values have to be
formatted according to the Syntax of the programming language C (use %d for
integers and %.Xf for floating points, where X has to be replaced by the number of
decimal places). The entries in the following two edit fields are adjusted to your
preceding settings of this section. You only have to modify them in case, the automatic
adjustment does not lead to the desired result.
