I am attempting to create forests and would like to use the fill with symbols tool to do it and save myself a lot of clicking. I am using the Jon Roberts overland annual style. Generally, when I place individual trees, I set the x,y to .5 for this map. I have set the default scale to .5 in the drawing properties. In the fill with Symbols I set unit size to x: .5 y: .5. At first I just tried using the 3 trees that come with the set but the fill looked too uniform. I noted that in the Mike Schley set he had somemore fill symbols with various amounts of trees. So I created a few pngs of these in random sizes using the Jon Roberts set. I then entered all those into the Fill with Symbol tool and the CX/CY for them as well as the single trees. The result was an over flooded amount of symbols in the poly area. Playing around some more I doubled the numbers in the CX/CY and this resulted in a better look though they symbols are about half the size of what they are when I place them normally.

I really could use some help figuring this all out. I have read through the Command of The Week on the tool already but I need a bit more help. Thanks!
