Description

symbol_name

An existing point which represents the location of the anchor point. The point is projected to the nearest drafting object component. If the point cannot be projected to a component because of its location, an error occurs.

SCALE,scale

Minor word and a value which represents the scale in both length and height applied to the symbol as it is placed.

RATIO,ratio

Minor word and value which represents the ratio of length over height which is applied as a scaling factor to the symbol as it is placed (the length is unchanged).

SIZE,length,height

Minor word and values which represent the length and height of the symbol.
