scalelistedit

Yesturday I learnt from one of the other thread to do this

-scalelistedit

reset

yes

exit

now when I use it, it works but if I close the file & reopen it, the annoying xref scale list is back & have t do this again, everytime I reopen the drawing.

can it be reset permenantely?

Or is it similar to 'ucsfollow 1' which i have to do evrytime If i want to rotate ucs:(

With new commands come new problems. I almost think they are self-inflicted.

Be that as it may, would the following be of any use?

There's also a utility that you can download.

Also you can put this code in your ACADDOC.lsp file:

(command "-scalelistedit" "r" "y" "E")

This is what I have done for us at my office. Now every drawing that opens we have a fresh Scalelist that never has the leftovers from XREF's.

Hi dip; Did the scales appear right after you've immediately reopened it?

xref scales, or any scales ont he scalelist for that matter are usually carried over when you copy any object from a file with bloated scales.

Then again if you have xrefs attached to the file itself with "xref scales", they will definitely load the scales after you've reopened even after you've cleaned then up on the previous session

that is what I thought & imagined it to be like one of those things which ahs to be done in every seccion.(ucsfollow)

Thanks all for the reply. as soon as I anstall full version, I ma going to do what 'styke' has suggested, put it in start up file.
