Embedding Symbol Wizards

In a consumer workflow, you embed Symbol Wizards from the Industrial Graphic Editor. Embedding a Symbol Wizard is similar to embedding a standard Industrial Graphic.

A Symbol Wizard appears with its default configuration when it is embedded. The Consumer can select another configuration by changing the configuration values shown in the Wizard Options section of the Properties view.
