Design Symbol Orientation

The Draw administrator or the symbol designer must associate the symbol template (SYTM) or text template (TXTM) with orientation of the component in the Catalogue that the design symbol (DESSYM) represents. They can do this either by selecting an existing P-point on the Catalogue Component or by creating a new P-point. The value of PPDI attribute on the SYTM or TXTM must then be set to the value of P-point Number (%NUM) attribute on the Catalogue Component. The 2D Symbology functionality is then able to use the direction of the P-point, which is determined by the P-point direction (PTCD) attribute on the P-point element, for aligning the x-axis of the SYTM or TXTM.
