Large Symbol at smaller scale drawing

Hello guys,

I am not sure whether this involves annotative block.

My RCP at 1/8" scale looks okay. Yet in my 1"=10'0" POT plan,

I would like these exit lights/signages to appear double in size when printed,

(since POT is merely a schematic)

From 1/8" scale to 10' scale (96 to 120), the symbols by logic should appear

80% smaller, not larger.

Can this be done with annotative block? Can some one gives me some pointer,

 

Thanks,

That's what annotative blocks do, they auto-resize to match the assigned scale set in CANNOSCALE or in a Viewport scale: is that what you are asking? Is this symbol one of your own, or one from the ACA library?

If you set up an annotative block for your symbol, it would be larger at 1" = 10'-0" than at 1/8" = 1'-0", but it would be the same size when plotted (since the surrounding "real world" items would be smaller when plotted at 1" = 1'-0".  If you want the graphics to plot twice as large at 1" = 1'-0" than at 1/8" = 1'-0", then you may need to consider using a Multi-View Block with a custom Display Representation (and Diplay Representation Set and Display Configuration) so that you can assign a different view block with enlarged graphics for displaying in your 1" = 1'-0" view.
