I found the locations you are talking about: Practice Track is 1:2400 and Solinst Datalogger Locations is 1:3000. The scale of the map in South Site does not correspond to any of the two locations. I suspect right after you double-clicked the map frame and specified the desired location, you scrolled the mouse wheel slightly and the view moved away from what it was. This is why the scale bar reports that its length is 72 ft US. But that's not all. Even if you set the map frame in North Site and South Site to the same location, eg, Practice Track, the scale bar in North Site will report 110 ft US, but the scale bar in South Site will report 120 ft US. You will also note that the scale bar in North Site will not fill the scale bar frame entirely and will be slightly shorter than it -- while the scale bar in South Site will fill the entire frame. This happens because in both cases the scale bars are set to choose the length automatically and the two frames have slightly different widths: the frame in North Site is 49.999... mm wide and the frame in South Site is 50 mm wide. It so happens that 120 ft US map to exactly 50 mm on paper and so the frame that is shorter than that (49.999... mm) adjusts the length down to the next value it thinks is reasonably round = 110 ft US. It is unclear to us how the width of the scale bar frame ended up as 49.999... -- we guess there has been some editing of the frame position. But in general, if you want the scale bar to be the same length on the two layouts, specify the desired length directly and make the frame wider than required for that length.
