changing symbol size

I have found out how to change my pole symbol to custom blocks but the size of the original block to not being used by AUD.

I want to say there is a way to specify the size of the symbol.  From what I know about AUD, the Display Manager is used to change the look of data after it is brought in.  I am wanting to setup how things will look before I start drawing.

Solved it.

 

Now my issue is: I want a replacement pole symbol when an install and removal pole are within 7.5ft of each other.

Hello Donald,

I am not sure you can do that with the out of the box AUD, but you can write a pole insertion routine that could check to see if there is another pole within the distance you require and then it would insert the replacement pole symbol either instead of both symbols or just the retirement symbol.

I dont think the routine would be that hard to write, you should be able to use any .Net language.  You could probably insert the .Net code into the validation portion of the poles logic as well, but only if you just changed the status of the pole object and didn't try to delete it, which you could do on the insertion routine.
