Scaling of dimensions on 2D generated views

 I'm having problems getting correct dimensions on generated (2D views).  If I start a drawing with the wizard, create a 3D model and place generated views on one of the layout tabs, subsequent dimensions are correct.   However, I don't usually start my drawings with the wizard.   I start with an existing, read only drawing that has an A, B, C, or D sized  template on one of the layout views, as well as the dimension styles  and layers I normally need.   These read only drawings were created with Autocad LT 2006 several years ago.

I find that when I place dimensions on the layout views, they are scaled by a factor of two or four.  I asked the support group about this, but I wasn't thrilled with their answer.  Basically, they told me I shouldn't start with one of my old drawings.

There must be a variable that controls how dimensions are scaled on the generated views.   

Anyone else here figure this out?
