Hi, we believe that we have seen this issue through a Customer Support case earlier.
The dimensions disappear only if the user clicks on the end of the story level line. It can be observed if you don't click immediately on the bottom left/right point of the Purlin, just wait while the infotag about the story level lines appear.
In this case if the user presses Tab to select the Purlin instead, the dimensions stay after changing to new scale.
The issue is that only vertical dimensions can be linked to the Story Level Lines, and in the current version the dimensions disappear after the check dimension command which is generated by changing the scale.
Let us know, if questions remain.
