Scale Issue - Xrefs

Scale Issue - Xrefs

Scale Issue - Xrefs

(OP)
Greetings,

I was working on a drawing with multiple Xrefs and now when I plot the file, all of a sudden there's 200 more scales that I can use that has the "_Xref" suffix attached to it.  Then if I remove the Xrefs from the .dwg file the scales remain. It doesn't hinder my drafting however I am still curious why the scales remain after I remove xrefs. I tried copying my model into a new drawing but the scales come with it.

Thanks in Advance,

Keith

It's the latest built-in AutoCAD virus :)

Use "scalelistedit" to remove the extraneous ones (by selecting "default").  Unfortunately this has to be done in every drawing affected.

Here's a discussion on some lisp code to help clean up the mess-
