Thanks BIGAL.
Creating a list and looping is far more efficient than my "step by step" code. What I'm hoping is that someone knows how to determine what scales are associated with a text object. In my example I know that the scales are 1:200, 1:250, 1:500, 1:1000 (initial), 1:2000 and 1:5000 because I created the text. But what if I didn't create the text. How do I get a list of the anno scales? There must be a way to access that data without having to change the CANNOSCALE.
