SmartSymbols are stored in the SmartSymbol library in a standard hierarchical folder structure. You can see two standard folders are included to simplify the organization of SmartSymbols in the SmartSymbol library:
-
A top-level folder for Industrial Graphics SmartSymbol templates
-
A top-level folder for InTouch SmartSymbol templates

You can create sub-folders for templates using the SmartSymbol Manager. Store Industrial Graphics SmartSymbol templates in the template folder with which they should be associated with when they are created. For example, if you create a SmartSymbol to use with $Valve objects, store the symbol template in the "$Valve" template folder.
You cannot drag Industrial Graphics SmartSymbols into an InTouch Symbols folder, and you cannot drag InTouch SmartSymbols into an Industrial Graphics Symbols folder.
