[GIS] way to set a fixed scale in QGIS

labelingqgissymbology

In Arc, I am used to setting a fixed scale for the Data Frame, so when you zoom in and out the objects get larger or smaller. Is there a way to set a fixed scale in QGIS? At the moment, if you zoom in and out, the lines and text stay the same size.

I normally use ArcGIS, but we only have a single licence, so we are doing some research to using QGIS as a standby for some of our work.
