Thanks Traian
I have adjusted the layers xml and the symbol is now the size I desire :)
I have read through the Resize box schema
I'm a little sketchy on how the resize box functions.
If I have two paths one smaller than the other with the larger one having
AddToResizeBox
and the smaller one having AdjustToResizeBox would the smaller path then be
scaled to fit the extents of the larger one?
And how do the size paramaters fit in to this? once the second path has been
scaled to fit the extents of the first would the whole symbol then be scaled
to fit the resizebox?
Perhaps a diagram would better explain it's function ? or perhaps I just
can't get my head around it :(
