Save a Symbol to a Library

You can store frequently used objects or groups of objects (including bitmap objects) in a library as Symbols.

To save a symbol to a library:

1. Create a symbol using one of the methods described in Create a Symbol.

2. On the Copy To or Save As dialog box, select the Project in which the symbol is to be stored.

3. Select the Library in which the symbol is to be stored.

4. Enter a Name for the symbol.

5. To display a preview of the symbol, select the Enable check box.

6. Click OK.

When you save an object in a library, the current properties of that object are saved with it. When you paste it as a symbol to a graphics page, they are used as defaults for the symbol.

Note: Pasted symbols have different Appearance properties to those of normal objects as you can only specify a visibility property.
