Enlarge Reduce
Choose this command to enlarge or reduce the selected symbol(s) or all symbols.
Factor

If a deleted symbol is used in the map, the respective objects are not deleted, but appear gray (as unsymbolized objects).

If one symbol is selected, the duplicated symbol is inserted after the selected symbol; otherwise the duplicated symbols are appended at the end of the symbol box.
