AutoCAD/symbols scale size

Question
I recently upgraded to autocad 2010 and now some of my symbols aren't the correct size. How do i fix this?

Answer
Hey Chris,

It sounds to me like you might have a problem with annotative scaling.  Were the blocks created with annotative scaling turned on?  Click on one of the blocks and check out the properties to see if you have an annotative scale set up for the block.  

Annotative scaling changes the size of text, blocks, and quite a few other things based on what scale you have a viewport set to.

Hope that helps.  If not, let me know and we'll look a bit further.
