Symbol scale

I'm adding electric recept symbols to my electrical power plan.  The problem is they are too small.  Sure they are "to scale" but on a 1/8" scale floor plan they are challenging to read.  Same issue for emergency light fixtures.  I like that they are a model of the item but need the graphic representation to be more readable.

Hello,

 

You can make larger symbols to fit your needs.

A symbol should be a generic annotation family nested into your device model family.  I don't think you have it.  Please take ay any out-of-the-box device family to see how it works.

It sounds like you are inserting model elements, not symbols. Your receptacle families should have annotation symbols in them. Those symbols adjust according to scale so that they can print the same size at any scale.
