Issue with Window Scaling and Automatic Dimensioning in shcedules

Hello,

I am having trouble getting my windows to display correctly in section and elevation views at the desired size in schedules. Each time I set the scale to 1:50, the plans and elevations adjust to the right size. However, when I exit the schedule and return, they revert back to a 1:200 scale.

In my layouts, they also maintain this smaller size.

Additionally, for some of my windows, the automatic dimensioning does not work, and I can't figure out why.

It really should be set to "Fixed 1:50" rather than "To Fit (=< 1:50)"

The latter will resize to suit the schedule field size, so may not be to scale.

 

But the reason it is changing is because you need to set the scale in the view settings for that schedule.

 

I am not sure about the dimensioning.
