Comment (by andrewd):

 Yes, I was thinking in the map editor - setting scales for all layers in
 that group. I know it could have some side effects, but if you gave the
 user an option like you suggest, I think it would still be useful. It
 would certainly have been useful for me today, anyway. Ultimately, it
 would be nicer if you could just set a group to handle the scales, but
 that's a mapguide issue. This would basically be a workaround until they
 implement that (if ever).

 The safest thing would be to alert the user if the layers are in use
 elsewhere. Basically, have a max and min field for each group, and when
 you set that, it adds that scale range to each layer in the group. I
 suppose editing would be tricky. Like, what if you set the min to 1 and
 max to 10000, but then wanted to change it to min 1 max 5000? Maybe the
 simplest thing is to only have it work for layers with a single scale
 range? That way it could just overwrite any existing scale range...Just
 thinking out loud here....
