VW2008 Scale bar tool

[ACR 0]

I have found that in both VW 12.5.2 and now VW 2008, I cannot use the scale bar tool to insert into some drawings. If I create a new document, it works fine, but some of my legacy drawings from 12.5.2 seem to be a problem. The tool on the palette does not select the scale bar tool when clicked.

Anyone any ideas ?

You probably have another object in the document named scale bar, so that is the first thing I would check.

Thanks - looked in the resource palette and sure enough, there was a scale bar. I could either place the original (symbol) in the document and edit it or delete it from the resource palette and start again using the scale bar tool.
