Can anyone tell me why the switches and outlets are approx double the actual size in plan view? This had made things very difficult and I assume it is an artifact from when plotters had no resolution. I think every plotter, and SoftPlan's export to PDF, default to very fine resolution and I see no need for it and the trouble it creates. Thankfully the new ability to replace symbol by just exploding the symbol, adjusting the size by about 50%, and one step adding the symbol overwriting the same symbol, replaces everything on the plan and takes care of it. The link to the 3D symbol and that symbol size is preserved.
Am I missing something? Having the symbol too big makes it hard to communicate to the electrician in tight situations. For example, the standard triple switch is SoftPlan is 7.5 inches between the centers of the two outboard switches and in reality they are 3.625" apart. Resizing that symbol so that the centers of the outboard $'s are 3.625" leave the width of the entire symbol width about 6.5" which is about the same as the actual width of a three gang switch plate so this seems like a no brainer and worth the while of changing the symbols, about a dozen that I use alot and maybe three dozen if I change all switches and outlets that are drawn too wide.
Anybody's thought before I set out to do that?
