I am trying to customize one of the ER Mapper scale bars so that it's units are in metres instead of kilometres.  I know this subject has come up before and I'm wondering if someone managed to do it and is willing to share it.  I've been able to customize the scale bar so that the unit label reads Metres instead of Kilometres, however, I am unable to find the argument that calculates the units, so the scale bar reads 1.000 instead of 1000.  If anyone can point out the correct file and argument to edit to convert these numbers from kilometres to metres I would appreciate it.

Hi,
Quick update on this -
it is on our enhancements list. Obviously did not make it for 6.2.
Should do for the next release (6.3).
cheers
Mike

Adam,
 
I requested a similar change perhaps a year ago.  The only response was essentially, was not helpful from ERMapper, learn to modify the code of some such.  I hope comments are being included for the next update.

Carlos,
 
You should be able change Kilometers to Kil�metros by editing the legendrules\scale_bar\box.ldd file in you ER Mapper directory.  I'd change all references in that file from Kilometers to Kil�metros (I believe there are only 2) and save it as a different file name to be on the safe side (i.e. Box_custom.ldd).  You should then have an option in your scales bar to place a the Box_custom.  Let me know how this works out, I made a lot of other edits to my files at the same time so you might require further edits, but I won't think so.
