So you have installed SP1 and you know how to fix drawings with a bloated scale list. But what if you have dozens or hundreds or thousands of "infected" drawings each containing hundreds of scale list entries?

Autodesk has released a tool to fix these bloated drawings. You can select any number of drawings and batch process them.

You have heard about this tool, haven't you? If not, that means you are not reading Shaan Hurley's Between the Lines blog. Here is the link to the Scale List Cleanup Utility. While you are there, I suggest subscribing to this blog to keep up to date with the latest happenings at Autodesk.

I added the fix to my startup routine. Now all company dwgs get the scale list purge.

(defun S::STARTUP ()
(command "PURGE" "B" "" "N")
(command "-scalelistedit" "Reset" "yes" "Exit")
(command "-view" "delete" "section*")
(command "layereval" "0")
(command "layernotify" "0")
)
