What is the final answer to scaling electrical symbols? I made a lib of detail components (not in a model family to avoid height visibility problems) I have found that I need an 1/8" version of the plan.... Is there any way to add a parameter to the families I make to have it scale automatically? text too?

Hi,

I'm not sure if i'm understanding you correctly, but you need a family that scales with your view scales? Could you make it an annotation family?
aloha,

does an annotation family scale according to view scale, and scale the text?

Yes.

An annotation family is always the size you make it. So, if you want a tag to be 5/32" high by 3/4" wide whenever you plot it, you make it that size in the annotation family. All annotations scale according to the view scale.

Good luck!
