Description key symbols not rescaling.

I've imported my points from a .CSV file. The description keys worked great, I have symbols on the points that need them. The drawing scale is set to 1"=20'. I've plotted it out at 20 scale and it looks fine. My problem is that when I change the viewport scale to 1"=40' and plot the drawing the symbols remain the same size. Is this normal or do I have a setting wrong?

Go into your Point Styles and verify that on the Marker Tab, the Size is set to Use drawing Scale (Upper right)

 

See Below:

Also, the size that they symbol will be in the Y direction only so a symbol that is not symmetrical, will need some adjustment to get your desired look

Are your blocks Dynamic or Annotative?  Try turning that off as I have had this happen with blocks that had both features.  Once I made them legacy blocks the probalem was no longer there.

Never had that issue myself, and I have tons of blocks that are dynamic just in case it's something that can't be shot but can be chained.

I at a loss as to what could be the OP's issue. Maybe post a drawing, this has to be something simple.
