[Symbols compounded by more than a layer]

Hi all!
I'll try to explain my doubt with an example and with my English limitations.

Let's say we have a map where we want to place some Stop signals (a shape, then a Text with the word STOP).
Until I know, both layers should be grouped and then, with the group selected, click on Create (Symbol Panel). 

We drag as many times as we need that symbol into our map and ready. 

But what if I want to change the symbol size? It doesn't work unless I select the layers inside the group.
Is there a way to do it just selecting the Symbol Group? I hope it has sense.
Thanks.

Have you ever done an imaginary line? (like visualizing the paths of characters in LOTR in a transit diagram)
Or one that's a bit strange? (like the monorail in Disneyland or the transsiberia express)

BTW, what's the font you used in this diagram? I'm curious because of the ligatures

@gewoonm Hi. I should say it's Helvetica.

@transitdiagrams Hi.
I have a doubt that maybe someone already asked you and because of my English skills I could find or understand. So I'm sorry in advanced

Every stroke in your subway or train map has some stops represented by dots.

Are those dots shapes placed one by one or are they made in a different way like I did in illustrator but I don't really know how to recreate with AD?
I mean, can you do something like a custom shape and then "say" to a stroke "in every node of this stroke, replace them by this shape"?
If so, don't you mind explain how? and how did you keep the apparently same distance between those stops? 

Thanks.

[Color Picker (Eyedropper in PS) for black, grey and white point in Curves Panel]

Hi, I'm sorry my English in advance.

In photoshop's curves panel, I have 3 color pickers for black, gray and white point sample.

If I do double click on these eyedroppers (inside of curves panel) I can put a custom value for black, gray and white.

 

 

How can I do this with affinity?
