Subject: Help Clearing Scale List

I have some drawings that have somehow added a tremendous amount of scales. It is somehow connected to the border I was using. When I try to go to "Format", "Scale List" I get an Unhandled exception error - Index was outside the bounds of the array. It seems that it will not display the scale list dialog so I can reset it to default.
Is there another way to reset the Scale List in a drawing?
Thanks,
DEF

Hi,
Just type SCALELISTEDIT you will get the Edit Scale List window.
Say RESET > OK , and you are done.
 
Enjoy

To keep that from happening again all the time. If you use the ScaleListEdit command in all your default blocks, and x-ref dwgs this will cut down on the number if you ever have to clean up in your current drawing.  If one of the associate drawings/blocks have an unsual ammount of scales in them, they get pulled in as well.

You can also try the DBXREMSL (and DBXSCANSL) utility for batch processing of multiple drawings.
