How do I make my symbols larger after I make a drawing.  They are to small to read

There are many possible solutions, depending on the real nature of the problem you're trying to solve.  If the actual problem is that text is too small to read when you print your drawing, any of the following might be appropriate:

1) Print to a larger piece of paper

2) Use a different print scale (use File | Page Setup)

3) If you are using a Title Block and there's a lot of space, scale down the title block to fit your drawing.  Note: if you're doing this dynamically with the mouse, hoild down the Shift key as you re-size the title block - this will maintain its proportions.  You may also need to check Options | Scale Symbols

We do not recommend scaling symbols for several reasons.  Firstly, all symbols have been designed and scaled to work together well - scale one in a drawing and you will have to scale all. Secondly, if you scale symbols, they will fall off the default grid.  This means that you will encoutner problems down the line when you try to move/connect symbols.

If you can post your drawing and describe your print settings we will get a better understanding of the problem you're facing.

Kind regards
