Main grid spacing across whole file

I'm working in an older file and want to change the main grid spacing to be more in line with how I'm drawing, and numbers that I frequently shift objects / doors / windows by. But I've found that if I update the main grid spacing on the floor plan it will keep the updated space for all plan views, but as soon as I'm working in an elevation, section, interior elevation, detail, worksheet, etc. it reverts back to the previous spacing.

Is there a way to update this across the whole file? I don't want to have to update it for every saved view.

Yes, unfortunately, this setting is Viewpoint-specific (but not View-specific, it is not saved with Views) so you will have make these changes in the Grids & Background Dialog for each Section, Elevation, etc., Viewpoint separately.
