I am sure it is already on here or even able to be done with the program not sure i could just be doing something wrong .
But If I have a recipe in the beersmith that is 5 gal and I want to do a 3 gal batch of it.
Have it change the amount of ingredients I should need .
I see that it changes the gravities and all that but doesnt change the amounts of ingredients i need.
Is there something i am missing
 
Highlight the recipe, then click on the toolbar button 'Scale'.  Change the recipe size and it will do the rest.

When you monkey with amounts manually, you're changing your gravity, not final volume.  Same as if a 5 gal batch had 10#s of base malt versus 8#s.  The gravity will be different.
