Attribute as a symbol size

Hi,

I have a custom attribute with preset values. I have assigned various AMF-files to the values.

In diagrams, I choose to show the attribute as a symbol. So far so good.

Unfortunately, the symbol is too large; it is roughly two lines of text when I want it to be only one line of text high. I have experimented quite much with the area, but am stuck. I have even imported an AMF from an ARIS 8(?) installation that had correct size, into my Aris 10, where the latter shows the symbol too large. I currently use ARIS 10sp2.

Details: Too get a small icon, I derived a new symbol from ARIS Stock symbol "Abort". I just draw a red square in the symbol editor. Saved as AMF.

Can anyone give a solution hint, or better, share an AMF that I can modify that is just one line of text.

Thanks for any advice :)

SOLVED: I used another symbol as basis for deriving a new symbol. That did the trick. I choose a smaller symbol as starting point.

I have similar difficulties. There is no obvious way to control the size of attribute symbols. It would be nice to have a bit more control of the behavior of attribute symbols. I have read somewhere in the forum that derived symbols inherit the size of the original symbol which is in line with your workaround.
