Does anybody know the sequence of steps to take to revise the size of a fub in viewdraw (if I need to add more inputs and outputs)?

Did you try pushing into the symbol and changing the size there?

Alternately, remove the SYMTYPE=FUB attribute, modify the symbol, and then readd the attribute.

From the help files:
You may manually add and delete the SYMTYPE=FUB attribute from any symbol. If you delete the attribute from a FUB, the symbol will no longer behave as a FUB, and you will no longer be able to modify the symbol at the schematic level. If you add the SYMTYPE=FUB attribute to a symbol, them it will behave as a FUB.

Note: FUBs are expected to graphically contain two boxes with a static pin size. Your pins may look awkward if you try to turn just any symbol into a FUB. In addition, the Tools -- Check Project command will generate an error if it finds the same FUB instantiated more than once on a single page.
