Try to edit the final.ddf file
You can change the scale of the supports

Quick note: If using AP XM, do not use the DDF interface to edit the DDF file. This interface will corrupt your file. Use a text editor such as Notepad

The DDF editor doesn't corrupt the file, it adds a bit to the top that needs to be removed. Using the DDF editor gives you access to much more than editing in a text editor does.

Try editing one of the final.ddf files that is delivered out of the box. Save it, then open with notepad. You will notice that all the original setting are now gone.

If the file does not work after editing with the DDF editor, it is corrupted.

Not true.
There is a difference between an invalid configuration and corruption.

DDF editor places a section at the top of the file for pipe bending parameters. Once that section has been removed the file is fine.

Using the editor to get the additional values and options into the file is the best way to go. Just make sure the section at the top has been removed and all is good.

If the original settings are gone, then the editor has been told to make these changes. The editor does not arbitrarily change the file.
