Additional Information

While a bookmark contains scale and rotation, applying the same bookmark to two differently sized map frames produces slightly different results due to the different frame aspect ratios. The map frame from which the bookmark is created is expected to display an identical match. However, when the same bookmark is applied to a map frame that is twice the height, the bookmark ensures the visible rectangle captured by the bookmark is visible. As a result, the scale may differ depending on the size and aspect ratio of the view it is used on.
