To create a scale bar:

  1. Click the Scale Bar tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.

  2. Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
