Pipe Symbol Size Change for 1/4" Scale Dwgs

1-line Pipe 1/4" Scale Dwg Drops/Rises/Tees:
NOTE: Our standard symbol size is set to 10 for 1/8" scaled dwgs.
Change this setting if this dwg will ONLY have 1/4" scaled viewports on it!
Do NOT use if you have mixed viewport scales on the dwg.
To get a non-scaling set diameter rise/drop for 1-line pipe:
Open your dwg.
Go to modelspace.
Go to "Format".
Choose "Style Manager".
Choose your drawing name.
Expand your dwg in the left-hand column to the following:
....dwg\Piping Objects\Pipe Rise Drop Styles\Pipe Break - Rise Only
Go to the "Rise and Drop" tab on the right-hand column.
Click on the #3, under "Scaling" change the X, Y, and Z values to 5.00
Click on the #4, under "Scaling" change the X, Y, and Z values to 5.00
Click on the #5, under "Scaling" change the X, Y, and Z values to 5.00
Click the "Apply" button.
Click the "ok" button.
Save your dwg!
