Having a layout created by using a template.
When a new viewport is created, we can manually see a list of all scales we may use (I guess those scales are on the template):
My question is : Is it possible to get that list '(1:1_1 , 1:4 , 1:1 ... ) by Autolisp, and then choose one of them (depending of some things...) .
Thanks
You dont need to get the list you can decide what scale to use, I use a DCL
Then you can set the viewport scale to match its the property Customscale, metric is easy imperial a little bit harder as take into account feet and inches, like / scale 12
Ask if you want the dcl. The program allows metric or imperial as you work out the customscale.

The custom scale would be unique only to the selected viewport just because they are not listed on the "ACAD_SCALELIST" dictionary. Maybe we can help you if give us more information on what those "some things" are?
Like Pbejse just make a viewport, have properties open and click on viewport there is the customscale as a variable so see number.
Ok your metric so even easier open the Vports toolbar and over on the right is a display of scale you can enter a number in there and the viewport will be exactly rescaled. Its easy to work out number to put in do a rough zoom so mview looks about right a number will appear. Fo a dwg in metres 1:250 = 4 as scale how did I get 4, simple 1000 / 250 = 4, 500=2 similar for mm dwg just different decimal place.
