I'm sure you got this figured out a long time ago, but figured I'd throw in the solution just in case anyone else finds this thread. With SprinkCAD, if you press OK on the Scale Options dialog when a drawing is opened, it loads a file called "protofh.dwg" into your drawing. This is usually located at:

"C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\TycoFP\SprinkCAD\R.##\PROTOFH.DWG"

 

I am not sure how your file full of details ended up getting saved as protofh.dwg, but this is not the first time I've seen this happen. It happened to me and a coworker about a decade ago, and that's how I learned what was going on. Protofh.dwg can be anything you want it to be; a template, empty, etc. Mine is completely empty, but I've seen others use a title block template (although I personally hate when title blocks are in model space). 

 

As an alternative, you can avoid this altogether. The Scale Options dialog only shows up if there's no scale block in the drawing being opened by SprinkCAD. The scale block is a block named "SCALE" on the Defpoints layer at 0,0,0. It consists of a point at the insertion point on layer 0, and an invisible attribute named "SCALE" which then needs a value. Most commonly that value will be " 1/8"=1'-0" " (sorry for the weird quotes around that value). I have a drawing template I use for all new projects, and it has the scale block pre-inserted, so the Scale Options dialog doesn't show when I start a new drawing from that template.

 

If you get the Scale Options dialog, it just means the scale block isn't there. If you press ok, then protofh.dwg is inserted and a scale block is created, so you won't get the dialog the next time that file is opened (if you save it). If you press cancel, then nothing is inserted or created, and you'll get the dialog the next time that file is opened.
