Hello,
In Mike Schley Ink style, I want to use Default Terrain (Pine) fill style but I dont manage to reduce the symbols scale.
I managed to reduced the area as a whole using the generic scaling tool but it also scale the ground surface it self so it is not completely satisfaying.
Is there a setup to reduce the symbols size ?

I think those use the symbols in area, in which case they are affected by the default symbol size in the map.
Unfortunately, changing the default symbol scale won't change the existing forests you've drawn. It will only affect the new ones, so you may have to backtrack and redo the existing ones. Here I drew one jungle at the default symbol scale for this map on the left, then doubled the default symbol scale and drew the forest on the right.
You get to the default symbol scale setting by clicking the Drawing Properties button
Changing the default symbol scale will also change the default symbol scale for all the other symbols you place after changing it.

Do you know if you are using a symbol fill, or a bitmap fill?
This one !
