I am new to Autocad and having trouble when downloading some of the blocks.  They are too large.  I tried the command scalelistedit and resetting but it still does not work.  I tried on both model and paperspace.
 
Help..please

I don't understand. Are you having trouble downloading the blocks, or are you having trouble inserting the blocks into a drawing? You say they're too big. What exactly do you mean?

Blocks with detailed geometry and 3D blocks can be quite large. Resetting ScaleLists is not the only way to make drawings shorter. Do you have a specific block?

Thank you for replying.  I found a way to do it.  I saved the blocks, exploded and then saved them again on layer 0.  Now when I insert them in the drawing they are the correct scale.
