Weld symbols

Weld symbols

Weld symbols

(OP)
Is there a way you can compress the physical spacing of weld symbols? By this I mean that weld symbols by default are very spread out.

I have attached a copy of a standard weld symbol. In it, you can see that the weld size digit is quite far away from the weld symbol, the contour symbol is a long way from the weld symbol, and the 'G' (to denote grinding) is also a long way from home.

I have tried playing with the line spacing, aspect ratio, etc, but to no avail. Am I able to modify a standard (or any other setting I've missed) to achieve a more compact weld symbol?
