What is the best way to figure out what is the proper scaling for the symbols I'm making so they work with various map scales?

Here is the issue:

Don't you just love it when you go to grab the tool you want and click the one above or below it instead. Happens all the time.

Well I'm a Battletech player an I bought CC2 to do overland maps for Battletech Campaign games. I have created overland maps for the game but never had any good symbols so I started to create some symbols. This is a quick map to test of the symbols I made and to show a friend how to do the contours on his export Ft3 maps as he wants to show a an elevation change with the contour lines.

I will be working on more Battletech Symbols in the future and will be fixing the ones I did last night as based on this map they are HUGE!! so I need to scale them down.

Make sure your placing your text on the text sheet and that the text sheet is lower (towards bottom) in the sheets list than the symbols sheet. Also make sure you haven't placed the symbols on the text sheet somehow. Make sure the text sheet is selected (checkmark) and hide all the other sheets and this will show you what is on the text sheet. You can repeat for other sheets to verify what is on the sheet.

The sheets are drawn from the top of the list to the bottom of the list. So anything above the text sheet list is drawn first and will be below the text. Anything after the text sheet is drawn on top of the text sheet.

I also found this blank one you can use to create your own. From a free download site.
