XREF Size

Hello, Please if someone can help on this. when I use source and destination the size of the XREF comes in different between? XREF of source Width Factor 1, and XREF Destination Width Factor is 0.8. Knowing that on my DWGs of both are set to 0.8. Thank you.Capture.PNG

Could it be that the version av the destination signal symbol in the drawing is the problem?
If you run a "Block Swap/Update", will that fix it?

In the block editor, the width factor is 0.8 for the definition:

So, something goes wrong before AutoCAD Electrical tries to do something with the block.

 

Are you sure you're getting the correct block when inserting the signal in a new drawing?

When you run the Update BLock function, do you check the "Retain old block scale" ? Try to uncheck it...

I'm able to do an Update Block and change the width factor.

Thank you. I forgot to uncheck it the first time. But, is there a way to find out why is it coming with Width factor of 1 instead of 0.8?

Well, in the drawing it is 0.8. Why it is 0.8 there, while 1 in the external block/dwg is anyones guess.
It might have been cgange one place or the other, but was still "wrong" in the drawing. Maybe even the template file.
