BOB'27T Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have a large xref from a client that is causing me some grief. When I open it, I get a message about it having over 5,000 annotative scales (seriously!). What do I need to do to get rid of them? I'm not a big fan of xref's & things like this make me like them even less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpseifert Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If that fails, you can find a utility here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks guys! I went with lpseifert's suggestion. I tried SCALELISTEDIT yesterday and it only removed about 50 of the scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Okay, so I downloaded the program to fix it, although I'm a little unclear as to where I need to put the file. I tried sticking it in My Documents folder, but it doesn't seem to be the right place. Please excuse my ignorance on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 From Shaan Hurley's Blog.... Installation Instructions To install the Scale List Cleanup Utility This utility has to be installed in the AutoCAD 2008 or AutoCAD 2009 installation folders. You must have administrative privileges on your Microsoft® Windows® operating system to complete installation. Based on your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit), download the appropriate self-extracting executable file. Select a folder. Extract files to the selected folder. Navigate to the folder and copy CleanupScales.exe, CleanupScalesRes.dll, and CleanupScales.html to the installation directory of your AutoCAD-based product.NOTE: To run this utility you must launch CleanupScales.exe from the installation directory of your AutoCAD-based product. I put them in the root directory of Autocad. e.g c:\Program Files\Autocad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB'27T Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I loaded the lisp with no problem, but when I type in the command it says it's an unknown command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
