Dude, we've had a discussion before about your name ('whatever') and location ('near') with no signature with version information.

If you expect help, you have to provide a reasonable location or signature as the libraries differ by country.

Also - this post belongs in the schedules / data extraction forum...

If you are US/Canada, then there is a 10 subset library that can be downloaded from the Goodies site and loaded alongside the 11 library. Don't know if there are subsets for other localizations...your sig indicates you have the INT version. Worth checking for the subset.

Scale is the problem: scale is not saved with the schedule, but with the view.

Of course it should change with the scale! The scale determines the scale of the placed drawing...and the relative size of the text to drawing units.

The way GS implemented this, though, is a bit odd as you note. There is no scale setting in the Schedule dialog. Instead, it uses the scale of the current floor plan... but the best way to see and change it dynamically is to use the "Quick Options" palette which should always be displayed in your work environment.

Once you save a view of the schedule (since only placed views should be placed on layouts)... you'll note in the View Settings that there is a scale entry as well allowing you to change the scale of the view.

I have been getting exactly the same problem. I just loaded ArchiCad 11 and the scale on the Schedules works slightly differently than in V10. In 10 we could change the scale of the images from the floor plan and from the "Settings"button when you saved the view. However it would show the detail of the scale you specified and reduced the image to the size of the row or column. In ArchiCad 11 it seems to be simply drawing the images at its true scale without resizing? I'm having a hard time trying to make it work like it used to in V10.

..... to continue on from my last post - here is an example of the same door schedule - the first in V10 and the second in V11?

I guess this almost amount to me answering my own question, however for anyone out there interested ArchiCad 11 has introduced a new setting to the Picture section of the Scheduling Settings. See diagram below (note: first image from ArchiCad 10 and the second from ArchiCad 11)
