Changing icon sizes on Diagrams

Post by rfj1001 » 08 Jan 2021 16:34

I've looked at other posts on the subject of displaying v7 icons but I dont think any of them gave me the solution to my problem.

I've got a series of displayed icons that are generated either via expressions or flags. I can change the icon size if it is flag generated but I cant seem to find an the equivalent option if it is expression generated. Bottom line is the expression generated icons are too small unless I expand the whole displayed diagram by zooming in - in which case everything else is too large :(

The screenshot shows the relative difference in size - census icons are expression generated, the others are flag generated.

Is there a way I can increase the size of the expression generated icons and make them more readable.

Many thanks.

It is nothing to do with whether Expression or Flag generated.
It is purely what Icons you are using.
The Box Features dialogue for Icons is exactly the same regardless of the Condition.

The thread V7 icon spacing in diagrams compared to V6 (18628) covers all the options.
Have you tried the settings to adjust size described there?
Do you know if you are using BMP or EMF Icons?

BMP size is adjusted in the Box Features dialogue.
EMF size is adjusted in the Dimensions tab via the More Dimensions... button.

Thanks Mike,

Increasing the EMF icon size width to 0.3" solved the problem :)
