Abstract

A method for scaling (reducing or enlarging) electronic device symbols operates on an input file (ie. body file) of information in precoded characteristics representing the electronic device symbol. The characteristic has a plurality of parameters describing it. The method, performed by a computer, first parses a plurality of parameters associated with the characteristic. Certain parameters are selected and scaled by the method. Lastly, the scaled parameters are reassembled along with the non-scaled parameters in the same characteristic and replaced in the body file of information.
