The "General" Vertical Scale object can be used to print the scale in the header and footer area of Borehole Log templates and on Quick Section templates.
(Please see this article for information on the "Depth Area" Vertical Scale object.)
The scale is expressed as a ratio. For example, a 1:100 scale would mean that 1 m on the report would represent 100 m in real life (or similarly, 1 ft on the report would represent 100 ft in real life).
This object does not have any properties or configuration options besides controlling the font/styling from the Design ribbon.
Please see this article for more information on working with Imperial Scales on Quick Sections.
