How to change the symbol size for elements in a model
To change to the symbol size or text height for all elements for all elements in a model, go to Tools > Options. In the Drawing tab is an item called Symbol Size Multiplier. Adjust this value to display the symbol size you want to use.
If you are working in a platform other than Standalone, you will need to do this through the Product pulldown menu, for instance WaterCAD. The product pulldown menu is automatically available in MicroStation. To add it in AutoCAD, type "Menubar" in the Command line, then enter "1". The pulldown menus will be available. Then to to WaterCAD > Tools > Options and find the drawing tab.
To change the symbol size for an individual element type, go the the Element Symbology manager (View > Element Symbology). Double-click the element you want to adjust. This will open the Properties display. Change the Symbol Size Multiplier to whatever value you want to use.
For text height, double-click the individual annotation, such as Label. This will open the Annotation properties. You can change the annotation text height there. It can also be changed in the Properties display.
Can I scale placed text in a drawing that looks small when I am zoomed out?
