Bill,
you can also choose Tools>Insert Symbols...
This command allows you to specify what size you want the symbol to be,
and if you want it to replace the existing symbol. I use this a lot
since our company doesn't use the FTF functions often. Most of the time
I only need to do this (Insert Symbols...) with a few points (prop.
corners, fire hydrants, power poles). I can change the symbol and size
to fit the scale I need since I usually import the points on a larger
scale so that they take up less room.
However, I think the easiest command is: Points>Scale Point Attributes
This lets you pick which object of the point you want to scale (i.e.
symbol, desc, elev, number) This command automatically scales with the
base point at the point node (crd node). This and Move Point Attribute
are my most often used point commands (both available under the 'Points'
toolbar).
I hope this helps.

You're right. That's what I would do, if I only had a few points to
change.
If you have a lot of points, then you can erase the points from the dwg,
and
then re-insert them using FTF - AFTER you edit the FTF codes, to make
the
symbols bigger.
I don't know if Carlson has a command like the LDD Rescale Blocks/Text
command.
There may be other ways too, that I'm not thinking of.

If you mean use the standard scale command, that would mean scaling each
point individually to maintain it's position. I can resize the point,
but
the attributes resize also. In EP I could specify to scale the symbol
but
maintain the same size for the attributes.
