Requesting the ability to have 'Enable scale-based (symbol) sizing' option available at the feature layer/class level, allowing it to apply to all symbols at once in ArcGIS Pro.

Currently, in ArcGIS Pro, scale-based symbol sizing can only be applied individually to each symbol. It has been observed that for these settings to remain consistent, the same scale-based sizing must be applied to all symbols within a feature class. This process becomes cumbersome when dealing with many symbols.

Step to Demonstrate (If the existing functionality, please include the additional steps to be added)

The following is the current workflow to set scale-based symbol sizing in ArcGIS Pro:

  • In ArcGIS’s Pro Contents pane, double click on the symbol for each attribute to start the Symbology pane (Format Symbol).
  • In the Symbology pane (Format Symbol), check the box labeled 'Enable scale-based sizing' then use the slider to adjust the symbol size (for e.g., line width for line features) according to the desired scales.
  • Click Apply at the bottom of the pane to apply changes. Repeat the exact same steps for ALL symbols within this feature class - maintaining the exact same parameters for all symbols.
