Understanding the symbol working area

The working area of the Symbol Editor equals four units square in the map. If you draw a symbol that occupies the whole working area, it will be two units high on the map. The bounding box is the blue box that appears inside the working area. This box is one unit square on the map. The measurement unit is defined in the RST Properties window.
