On this tab can be changed:
Size and line type for icons of cameras
The icon size is specified separately when displaying on the screen and when printing.
You can set any line type for a camera during creating the camera.
The camera will be drawn by default line type, if another line type has not been specified during creation and placing.
Later on, you can change line type using Change line type tool.
Show camera type
If the box is marked, then cameras of different types will be represented by different icons:
, 
,
..
In this case, camera tilt is not represented by the icons.
If the box is not marked, then all cameras will be represented by identical icons, which represent the camera tilt.
If Scalable box is checked, then cameras icons are scaled with the other constructions. Size of icons is specified in meters (feet) in the Size box below.
If Scalable box is not checked, then cameras' (illuminators') icons are not scaled. Size of icons is specified separately: on the screen in pixel - in the Size (pix) box, for printing in millimeters, - in the Size (mm) box.

Size
Size of scalable icons in meter (foot), when the Scalable box is checked.
This combo box allows to adjust transparence of filling view area projections in the Graphics window.
Highlight active camera View area projection
Highlight the border of the active camera's view area projections in the Graphics window in red.
Symbols of Devices
The Size (pix) combo box sets the default size of symbols of devices when displayed on the screen.
You can assign same size to all symbols of devices, in pixels, or select =picture, which will make the symbol's size equal to its picture size.
The size of symbols of devices placed on the layout can be changed in the Current Construction Parameters Panel and the Selection Editing Panel.
Symbol size for printing is set using Scale (ppi).
Symbol size for printing (inches) = Size (pix) / Scale (ppi)
Symbols and their offsets relative to the equipment can be scalable (having actual dimensions on the layout at any zoom level) or non-scalable (having constant dimensions on the screen at any zoom level). Scalable and non-scalable offsets are independent and stored separately.
You can make equipment symbols and offsets scalable or non-scalable, along with the callouts in the Cable Control Box tool, using the Scalable checkbox.
When the Scalable checkbox is checked, the symbols and the offset relative to the equipment are scaled to their actual size on the layout, in meters (feet). This size is set using the Scale (ppm,ppf) combo box.
Scalable symbol size (meters, feet) = Size (pixels) / Scale (ppm,ppf)

Large device symbol images and photos will slow down the Equipment Tables. When uploading symbol images and photos to the Equipment Tables, you can automatically limit the resolution of the uploaded images using the values in the For symbols (pixels) and For images (pixels) combo boxes.
This limitation does not apply when uploading images through the Current Construction Parameters Panel or the Selection Editing Panel. If you need to upload a high-resolution image for an individual device, you can do so through the Current Construction Parameters Panel.
