How-to scalable symbols and text

[Ma]

In the line.sym file which comes with 3.3.006 there is no ellipse type symbols.
Can you send me ellipse type line symbol(s) for 3.3.006?
I send here the line.sym I had before and and the line.sym from 3.3.006 now. Why doesn't work with
the first line.sym file with 3.3.006?
