Electrical schedule

[capitaldesigns]

I'm new to Chief. I'm using X-8.

 

Is there a way to reduce the size of the electrical symbols that show up in the electrical schedule.

Some of the symbols in the schedule are 4 to 5 times as large as the same symbol on the floor plan.

 

Thanks

Mike,

It is usually the column width that determines the size of the images.

And it is usually a long column name that causes a wide column.

So, abbreviate the column name and then drag the column width narrower, the image sizes will shrink accordingly.

 

You could also have a play with the Scale Images setting, if that is causing a problem.

 

The attached pic shows two 2D Symbol columns.

The one on the left has been dragged narrower and the named changed to just "2D".

I'm just now using X8 on a simple plan so this is kinda exciting for me. Concerning the size of electrical symbols in a legend, I make my own legends and always make the symbols a lot larger than what you see in the plan. Some symbols in the plan you can't hardly see at 1/4" scale line the smoke detectors. I probably make my symbols in the legend around twice the size of what you see in the plan. Hoping X8 will save me time here. Will be good to hear if you can change the size though.

That worked. I changed the name from 2D symbol to Sym. That brought the size of the schedule down to a reasonable size.  Thank You.
