Section symbol scale

[eng.girgis.adly]

Dears, 

when I change the View scale from (1:100) to (1:400) some of the sections symbols in the drawing become very big and the others disappears 

so How can I solve this problem ?

Hi, select the symbol and change the scale at "hide at scales coarser than"

@eng.girgis.adlyThe symbol doesn't become bigger. Everything else gets smaller. You can create a new section head that is smaller if that's your desired outcome.

@vitorbortoncello's solution is probably why some of them are disappearing.

do you have a guide for how to create a smaaler section head ?

Editing an existing one would be the most straightforward way.

You sure you want to do that?  You might want to place both the 1:100 and 1:400 views on a Sheet and see the difference in the Section Symbols.  There is none.  They will both be the same size.  For legibility/readability, I wouldn't suggest a font size smaller than 3/32".   If that's their size now, you might change the View Scale/View Extents instead.  FWIW.

Sections already shown in 1:100 views need not shown again in 1:400 views. 

Also, if you repeat the sections across different scales, they are still the same sections and thus, using the same symbol.  You cannot just show one section with big symbol in one view and show the same section with a small symbol in another view.
