Hi, I'm sure there is a simple answer to this one. I'm trying to create multiple layout windows in the same workspace. I want to create one in Portrait format, one in Landscape format and have them both at the same scale. However, every time I try this one frame will show the correct scale while the other alters. I am using version 8.0 and have tried using different approaches. I have used the frame object window to alter the frame scales, using the change map zoom options, rather than just altering the frame size. I'm confused as to why the other layout window changes after doing this, as I figure that the scales should remain the same, they should just show different extents of my datasets (they are both centred on the same feature) Any advice would be appreciated.

The scale is tied to the X axis, so when you switch between the portrait and landscape layout, the layout's X dimension is different, and hence the scale is different. I would suggest cloning your map window and then putting one map window in one layout and the other in the other layout.
