plant symbols rescaled themselves incorrectly

I made the mistake of editing a planting XREF from another drawing (edit XREF in place). After saving the changes, all the tree and shrub symbols became tiny-- I think 1/12 of the size they should be.

The planting drawing and the drawing it was XREF'd into are both decimal feet.

Groundcover hatches were not effected. When I place new trees and shrubs, they come in at the correct size.

Any idea how I can get the symbols back to the correct size without re-placing them all?

I'm assuming that response is because I initially did a test.

I tried posting this yesterday and realized it didn't go through. It seems to be working now, so...

Ha! That is what happened. I received a notification that you posted 'Test' on the forum.
I'm sending this over to Amanda now who can better answer your real question.
Thanks!

You can quickly re-scale symbols using the QSELECT tool. We have a power tip on using this technique for plant callouts, but the same workflow can easily be adopted to other blocks like tree symbols, too.
Power Tip: Use QSELECT for Complicated Land F/X Scale Changes.

Thanks,
