features, the Style Line dialog box provides options for changing the visual
appearance of the features in the theme. You can change options relating to
the symbol, color, and size of the points.

3 In the Style Point dialog box, change any of the following:
■ For Symbol, click
and choose a symbol or browse to a symbol file.
■ For Size Context, choose Device Space or Map Space and then select
the type of units to measure the point symbols.
In Device Space, you specify symbol widths and heights in screen
units. Available units are Points, Inches, Millimeters, or Centimeters.
In Map Space, you specify symbol widths and heights in Mapping
Coordinate System(MCS) units. Available units are Inches, Feet, Yards,
Miles, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters, and Kilometers.
If you choose Device Space, symbols remain the same size during a
zoom. If you choose Map Space, symbols remain the same size relative
to the map. For example, if you make a symbol .1 miles in map units,
it will measure .1 miles no matter what zoom level you set.
