SYMBOL

Purpose:

To enable a user to insert a standard symbol into a drawing.

Instructions:

1. In the Insert menu, click Symbol.

2. First, the symbol is selected from a dialog showing all symbols in the modal symbol font. Inside this dialog, it is possible to select from any existing symbol font. Just select the wanted font in the Font combo box.

3. Once selected, the symbol is dragged into desired position in the drawing. By clicking Options at this stage, it is possible to change some modal characteristics (height and rotation) of the resulting symbol, as well as mirror the symbol in u- or v-direction. It is also possible to toggle the "auto symbol positioning" status, see Automatic Positioning of a Symbol for further information.

4. Once positioned, new copies of the symbol can be positioned repeatedly until the user interrupts by clicking Operation Complete.

Options:

None.

Result:

User-defined symbols are inserted in the current drawing.
