To create a new SYLB, proceed as follows:
-
Navigate to the appropriate LIBY level in the existing hierarchy or, if necessary, use Create > Library to add a new LIBY.
-
Select Create > Symbol Library.
It is recommended that you give the new SYLB a name that will make its content obvious to users.
-
The SYLB is effectively a drawing sheet on which you will position the SYTMs, so you must specify its dimensions (either explicitly in the Width and Height boxes, or by selecting a standard sheet size from the drop-down list).
-
If you wish to define attributes at SYLB level, such that they will be cascaded down to SYTM level, click on the Attributes... button and change the relevant settings on the resulting form. (You can modify these attributes for individual SYTMs later if you wish.)
