Automatically Scale All Symbol To Match Drawing Scale, is there any way or how to tackle this?

Hi, I did a detailed view (at different scale) but I wanted all the symbol to also scale with everything else. From what I've researched, there's no Revit feature that can help except the tedious making annotation symbols for each scale. 

I was thinking dynamo but if it involved editing family then you can't. Any suggestion to automate this process? It's been driving me crazy to edit every single symbols. 

Many thanks in advance though!!!

Annotations are paper scale.  Place views of different scales on a sheet then you will see their annotations are the same size.

It shouldn't be tedious to make a larger annotation size if you want one for a different scale. Just open and edit the family, save it with an indication of the scale its to be used at, and load it into the project. Go to the view you want to change, right click one, and click "select all in view", and change them to your new family. This could be no more than a five minute process.

Symbols should "scale". Are your symbols Annotative Elements or Model Elements?  Sounds like they are Model Elements if they are showing up in other Views. Annotative Elements are View-Specific.   

 

FWIW:

...nevermind. I can clearly see in your screenshot that they are Annotative and displaying properly as per view scale.
