geospatial features, see
Defining Scale Ranges (page 643).
To create or modify a scale threshold
1 Zoom the drawing to the scale factor for which you want to create or
modify the threshold.
2 To display the Threshold list, in the Display Manager, click Tools ➤ Show
Thresholds.
3 Click the thin down arrow next to the Threshold list and click Duplicate.
4 In the New Threshold dialog box, enter the new threshold value. Click
OK.
5 Modify any of the styles for this new scale threshold.
If the styles reference a Library Style, turn off referencing for the selected
style before you modify it. To turn off style referencing, select the style.
On the Display tab of the Properties palette, next to Reference, select No.
If you do not turn off Reference, any changes you make to the style in
this scale threshold are automatically reflected in any styles that reference
this style.
NOTE hen creating and modifying styles, you can specify how you want to display
styles as you change scale thresholds.
■ Close the lock icon
on the Status Bar to update the drawing window
using the appropriate styles for each drawing scale threshold. Styles change
as you adjust the scale threshold.
■ Open the lock icon
on the Status Bar to update the drawing window
using the styles for the current scale threshold. Styles do not change as
you zoom.
