Hello, please explain us what you want to find.
You want to modify your entire drawing --> No do your drawing at scale 1/1 and set the printing with a scale of 1/50.
You want to set your paper space port to 1/50 --> Do Zoom, enter, 1/50XP, enter to have your scale.
You don't have 1:50 in your scle list?
An other thing?

The scale list should be in the tool bar "dimension".
You should be abble to customise your screen with different tool bars with a right clic in any tool bar in your screen, this should open a sreen were the activated tool bars are notched.

To my knowledge there was no way to set the scale of a viewport from the Dimension toolbar in AutoCAD 2007.  The three ways I remember doing it were 1) use the Zoom command with the Scale option (nXP), 2) picking the scale from a dropdown list that was found on the Viewports toolbar and 3) changing the scale within the Properties panel.In AutoCAD 2011 there is a way to change the viewport scale after clicking on the viewport frame via the Viewport Scale icon that immediately appears in the lower right-hand corner of one's screen.
