If you don't, create one that looks like this: <code> (defun S::STARTUP () (setvar "HIDEXREFSCALES" 0) ) </code> Note that this sort of unconditional definition of S::STARTUP is not ideal best practice. In theory it can overwrite in memory any existing S::STARTUP that may have been loaded earlier during the startup process. But it's simpler to describe this way and has an excellent chance of working perfectly, so give it a go and see if it works for you. If you have an acaddoc.lsp file in your search path, and that file contains an S::STARTUP function, add the line (setvar “HIDEXREFSCALES” 0) to that function. If you don’t, create one that looks like this:

(defun S::STARTUP ()
(setvar "HIDEXREFSCALES" 0)
)

Note that this sort of unconditional definition of S::STARTUP is not ideal best practice.

I understand this is because it is not a registry command. Contrary to your view, I prefer to have this command set to 0, especially as I'm trying to instill discipline into co-workers whereby they don't 'infect' their drawings with rogue annoscales from outside or pre-2008 dwg sources. To achieve this, they need to know (at the click of button) if rogue scales have crept in to their drawings. So question: how to set hidexrefscales so that it remains on 0 or 1 each time I re-start CAD2009? The hidexrefscales is automatically reset to 1 every time I re-start CAD 2009.
