Is there currently any way to have the symbols for amenity blocks show at a larger (more legible) scale within the refnotes schedule?
Plant and tree symbols are enlarged or reduced in size to fit nicely in table style schedules and the option is even given to show those symbols at the same size as the plan if preferred. In irrigation there is the ability to globally scale the size of equipment and as a result the schedule symbols are clear and well sized.
However when you place an amenity such a bench, trash receptacle, or boulder and run a refnotes schedule using symbols, these blocks appear in the schedule at the same size as they appear in the plan in model space. As an example of an issue with this - we have boulder blocks of varying sizes that have an ID Tag within them which denote the size. If the plan is at 20 or 30 scale, boulders appear as small little dots in the legend. We have plant symbols that are smaller than many of the boulders and yet those symbols are perfectly legible because they are enlarged when the schedule is run. Is there a way this could be done for amenity blocks within the schedule too?

Joe, we do have it in our wishlist item for some major schedule improvements across the board to have amenity blocks scale to fit better than they currently do.

Thanks Amanda. I have a similar request for blocks that are too large to reasonably fit in Refnote schedules. Looking forward to the update!
