When opening a drawing in AutoCAD products, the following warning message is displayed:

Annotation Scale - Large Scale

This graphic contains a large number of annotation scales. Do you want to reset the proportion list?



In addition, the command line may display the following message:

Resolve external reference 'reference name': reference location

Suggest opening and saving the external reference file again to remove excess proportions.


Solution:

Click 'Yes' on the warning message to remove excessive annotation scale.

alternative:

· Enter the command - SCALELISTEDIT>Reset>Yes.

· Install a scale list cleanup utility for the specific AutoCAD version being used. This allows for the removal of annotation ratios from multiple files.

1. Use the SAVEAS command and save it again in DXF format.

2. Close the DWG file and open the DXF file.

3. Enter the PURGE>Regapps command.

4. Enter the PURGE command, select all checkboxes, and then click OK.

5. Use the AUDIT command.。

6. Save again in DWG format.

7. It may be necessary to open a new drawing and then use the SELECT command to insert the affected file into it to completely clean up the drawing.


Attention: Ensure that the graphics and their external references are saved locally.
