Why does BidScreen XL keep prompting me to autoscale a drawing?

Some drawing formats don’t carry enough information for BidScreen XL to establish the scale on its own. When that happens, it prompts you to autoscale. If you don’t need to be reminded every time, enable Suppress Autoscale Messages in Setup Options. Default and recommended setting is disabled (so you keep getting the safety prompt).
