Steps:
- Start ArcMap.
- On the main menu, click View > Layout View.
- On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Layout.
-
Click the Mercator Scale Bar button
on the Aeronautical Layout toolbar.
By default, the mercator scale bar represents the current focus map scale if it is not zero.
Note:
The mercator scale bar is not dynamically linked to the data frame properties; scale changes do not automatically update the mercator scale bar element.
