Synchronizing the Scale of Maps

You can synchronize the scale of two or more maps so that when the scale of one map is changed, the other maps are automatically updated. As long as the maps are linked, if you use the Zoom In or Zoom Out tools, the Pan tools, or the Map>Zoom>Scale, Map>Zoom>Undo or Map>Zoom>Undo All commands on one of the synchronized maps, the other synchronized maps will automatically update.
