    Question Connection Symbols

    Does anyone know how we can stop symbols from automatically scaling when placing in down pipes in Fire Protection drawings and Plumbing drawings?

    Hi mmeaney,


    I'm not sure what your symbols you are talking about but the general procedure would be:

    Click on the symbol and right-click and go to "Edit Symbol Style" (or whatever text has the word style in it)
    Go to the views tab and uncheck "Use Annotation Scale"

    I realize this was a very generic answer. I'm an electrical guy so I'm not familiar with the plumbing module.

    If this didn't help post back and I'll dive a little deeper into the plumbing side of the program.

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    It really is not a symbol, but the connection block type for a fitting. It shows the flange, victolic.

    There is no style for it. We are trying to make. These connections use the pipe size to scale themselves and that is what we want to know how to stop.

    Is there any way you can post an example drawing with a couple of the fittings in it?
