The scale bar shows the scale of the map, which is set by the basemap. If you zoom beyond the visibility of the basemap, the map may not draw correctly. Your administrator sets the default units for the scale bar (and measure tool, directions, and analysis). United States standard sets the units to miles, feet, and inches; metric sets the units to kilometers, meters, and centimeters. You can change the units you see by editing your profile.
