    Default Importing Annotative scales

    The range of scales that I use frequently (1:25, 1:75, 1:125, 1:150, 1:200, 1:250 etc) is not represented in the 'standard' list of Annotation Scales and it is tedious to have to recreate these in every new drawing - is there a way of importing these or making them part of the standard list?

    set them in your template.

    scalelistedit will allow you to create new scales.

    you can also bring in an object with those scales associated with it.

    I attached a script file that I wrote to update my scalelist. You will have to edit it to get the exact list you want but it will give you a good start.

    If you have any questions just ask,

    If you're working on an existing drawing, try this. Set up a block with your desired scales, then insert it. It's worked for me with older drawings.

    Thirteen years later and Autodesk still haven't addressed this. Would be so much easier if one could simply import annotation scales from another drawing via Design Center.

    Look for STEALV1-8.lsp on the Swamp.org Solves a some of the things that ADC skips.

    Ironically, this post would work for this as well:
