Is there a way to quickly & easily increase the size of my irrigation schedule sprayheads? (see attached pdf) The symbols are unreadable and simply increasing the overall size of the schedule doesn't solve the issue because the symbols maintain the same size relative to the size of the schedule - as well as the fact that the schedule then takes up a huge amount of space on the sheet. I have already customized the size and appearance of the sprayhead symbol blocks to match our office standards - do I need to change the size of the symbols in the master irrigation dwg?
Lindsay,
Are all the symbols in the schedule not the same size as what is in the plan? Or are you just having issues with part of your symbols being the same size?
You will want to make sure you change the related schedule symbol source blocks as well, not just the equipments source blocks. It should be quick to make this change, just open a source schedule block and type REDEFINEBLOCK and click each of the blocks. They should update to reflect any changes you have made to the other single blocks.
However, I feel inclined to ask why you just didn't use the equipment scale factor option in your irrigation preferences to manage the size of things. Please see the link below on where this is located and maybe you will have better luck with doing things this way.

**of course, you are going to need to correct the scale of what you have already customized, simply to get everything on the same page again.**

Thanks Jake!
I will take a look at the options you suggested. I've been slowly chipping away at aligning the land fx irrigation schedule to our office standards - while learning Land fx at the same time- so much to learn!
It's not only the schedule blocks but the schedule as a whole that I'm trying to customize. The only way I've been able to figure out how to do that is to explode the schedule and edit it, but it
would be great if there was a way to customize the schedule graphics without having to do that. The blocks read fine in the drawing so I don't want to resize them, just change their size relative to the schedule cells.
