Orientating Design Symbols

The Draft 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) will represent. This is achieved either by selecting an existing P-point on the Catalogue Component or by creating a new P-point. Then the value of PPDI attribute on the SYTM or TXTM must be set to the value of P-point Number (%NUM) attribute on the Catalogue Component. This will enable the 2D Symbology functionality 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.
