Plan Door Swing in PCS

I have been updating door in Parametric Cell Studio. The questions I have are about the plan view of the door swing.

The first question I have has to do with adjusting the door width. When I adjust the door width it does not scale the Plan Door Swing proportionally. It stretches the swing to the new width but stretch the door leaf part of the swing so that my swing is not a quarter circle anymore. How do I fix this problem.

The second question is about the plan view of the door leaf. We want to show a thickness to the door leaf part of the swing but are unable to have this door leaf swing adjust to the same dimension as the door leaf itself. I have set the plan view door leaf swing to 1 1/2" and would like to adjust it to be the thickness of a freezer door. How is this accomplished.

    Both problems have to do with the parametric controls of the object not changing. Basically you need to find out what controls the geometry for these symbols a make sure they are constrained properly or reference the correct variable. I know this is a vague answer, but depending on the parametrics surrounding the door and the components used to construct the door, this could be complicated. Your best bet is to post you door and components, and then we may better advise you where to look. This also may end up being a Technical Support issue.
