Save symbol packages

Note: When saving the symbol package, you should consider that during retrieval of the package, the symbol scale factors are those which were active during saving.

Do the following:

  1. Position the symbols included in the package next to each other (not one on the other).

  2. Select the elements to be saved in the package.

  3. Enter the symbol package name.

  4. Indicate the symbol package's insertion point.

  5. Enter the description line of the symbol package search (tip text).

  6. Use the window indication and show the icon to be drawn in the menu button.

Insert symbol packages from user menu

Insert the symbol package from the icon menu to the drawing. The symbols are separate symbols and not included in packages. They will also be included in counting as single symbols.

Note: When inserting the symbol package, the single symbols will get the same elevation as when saving the symbol packages.

The symbols in the symbol package will retain their own system data. When inserting a package to the drawing, the symbol layer and color will be defined according to the used setting file.
