It would be very helpful if a nested symbol(s) could be scaleable within a master symbol that is not.
In other words, one or more nested symbols can have Lock Size set to on while the master symbol has Lock Size set to off.

An example of how this would work is for building grids and section identification. We are trying to have a one master file or symbol that has the building grids that can be used in all plan, elevation, and section drawings of various scales. The individual grid identification & section id symbols need to be scaleable but the spacing of the grids needs to stay constant.

Dave: Here is an example.

We would like the grid id symbols to be scaleable, but not the grid lines.

The space of the grid lines stays constant regardless of the scale, while the size of the identification symbols should be able to change depending on the plot scale.

Thanks for looking at this.

Could this be done with an xref of the grid and the notation be symbols that are scaled?
