zoom entire layer in layout map window

[Globy]

Hi everyone,

I want to make one layout and always change the map frame in that layout.  It works, but how can I zoom to a layer in the layout window.

I use a create frame statement as this under my sub MakeLayout

Create Frame (0.984252,0.787402) (7.28356,8.267712)  
    Pen (1,2,0)
    Brush (2,16777215,16777215)
    Title ""

and I fill it by using the statements underneath in the sub where I make my map: 

Set designer frame window uniqueLayoutWin ID 4 Clear 
Set designer frame window uniqueLayoutWin ID 4 from window MapID

Telling to set map zoom entire layer X in the sub where I make my map do not give me a view of the entire layer X in my layout.

How can I zoom to a map layer in the map frame of my layout? 

Thanks,

Lien

That is probably because your map and your layout have a different aspect ratio. You can either calculate the difference and adjust your zoom or you can change the dimensions of your map window or layout frame to match the aspect ratio of the other.

Ok, that will work for one region, but when I use another region, the aspect ratio will be different...

[Bacon, Tom]

I don’t understand why the aspect ratio would be different, it is simply defined by the width and height of the map window. The zoom is directly relative to the width, if I remember rightly, of the map window. You may need to adjust your zoom level for each different region you are wanting to display in order to fit it into the map window but you shouldn’t need to change the actual size of the map window itself.
