How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

Hi Everyone!
My name is Sergio.
I saw that in a old thread
( The attached PowerPoint explains the situation better but here goes...
I want to add a symbol to a cell within a "Tabular Note" in NX 7 drafting. I can add the symbol with an attribute call-out but I cannot scale the symbol. I know there is a scale symbol setting but it seems to have no effect. This same idea applied to a "Note" scales perfectly fine.

The attribute that I want to add is:
<W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE>

Does anyone know how to scale the symbol in a "tabular note"? )
Im working in NX 1953.

Anyone here knows if its already get a solution in nowdays?
Thanks in advance!

I tried to figure this one out, but I do not have an answer for you.
I even tried scaling with TRANSFORM but it does not work.

I don't think that you can directly scale those symbols. This thread is from 2018, but I don't think anything has changed in this area since then.

You can smash the symbol, scale it up (using Transform), then create a new User Defined Symbol.

Thank you Jerry, but what I need is to put it inside a title block e keep it working automatic.

Then maybe just smash the symbol and turn it in a sketch then resize the sketch uniformly as you need to,

This is a question whether this company ever uses first AND/OR third projection on their drawings ,
or if they only use one of these methods.
If they use a single method, they can smash the symbol or draw a symbol of their own. No need for automatic change.
If they use both methods and want the symbol to automatically swap, they are stuck.

When you work for many of companies around the world it's become very important using automatic changes, it avoid any forget about it.
