I have created some generic annotated symbols for our MEP plans and I am curious if there is a setting in the family editor that will allow my symbols to scale when the drawings scale? Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to create a new annotated symbol for all my MEP symbols? Thanks, Lorne

Annotations should scale by default. Check your family to make sure it is set to an annotation category. Go to Settings-->Family Category and Parameters and make sure it is an annotation. If you used the Generic Annotation family template then it should work.

yea I checked that. All my MEP symbols that I created are under the Generic Annotations category. To insert them into the file I use the Drafting>Symbol tool. Is that correct? Also I noticed that when I scale my drawing say for a site plan my elevation tags don't scale either. Any ideas why? I can post a few symbols if you need. Thanks, Lorne

Ok so I kind of just realized I'm a moron. My symbols are scaling with the plans. They are staying the "same size" with all plans. So if it's 1'"=400' it's REALLY BIIIG. If it's 1/4" plan then it's normal size. Sorry...I guess it is scaling with the plan. I was thinking backwards. So my question is this...If say I have a ceiling fan symbol with an editable label, but I want my text to scale and my fan to move with the scale (get smaller when it's supposed to). How do I do that with one symbol? Is that possible? Thanks, sorry for the confusion. Lorne
