Additional Information

This is working by design. When a field is used for scale and moved from a page to another page, the scale displayed under the layout matches the shape_length field.

Workaround

  • Use Best Fit and round the value to the nearest 1. The default is 1000 and this cuts the ends off.
  • Set the margin to approximately 2% to view the edges.
