Creating Symbol Wizards

A Designer uses the Symbol Wizard Editor to define the various required symbol configurations based on a set of rules and symbol layers. A Designer defines a set of layers, which are used to group a set of graphic elements, custom properties, and named scripts. Graphic elements and other symbol properties can be assigned to no layers or multiple layers. Graphic elements that are not assigned to any layer always appear in all symbol configurations.

A Designer can create a rule for each layer that defines the conditions when the layer is included in a symbol configuration. Rules are assigned with Choice Groups, Choices, and Options. A Designer selects a configuration to be the symbol default that appears when the symbol is embedded in a managed InTouch application.

After creating all symbol configurations, the Designer verifies how each configuration of a symbol using the Symbol Wizard Preview. Designers set values in the Wizard Options view to verify that each configuration appears as designed based on the layer rules set for the symbol.

When a Symbol Wizard is finished, the Designer saves it to the Galaxy library so that it is available for use in managed InTouch applications. For more information about creating Symbol Wizards, see "Working with Symbol Wizards" in the Creating and Managing Industrial Graphics User Guide.
