Save a symbol package

If you use certain symbol combinations often, it is beneficial to save them as symbol packages. This makes insertion easier, in addition to which you can avoid unnecessary elevation changes.

The program saves the elevation data for the symbols included in symbol packages. After insertion, symbol package symbols are handled as individual symbols so that quantity calculations, for example, will be correct.

Do the following:

  1. Select Layout tab > Devices group > Symbol functions menu > Save symbol package.

  2. Select the switch and the plug socket for cleaning to be saved in the symbol package.

  3. Accept the selection by right-clicking. The Save output package dialog opens.

  4. Enter SO_PACKAGE1 as the name.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Indicate the base point for the symbol package near the wall on the centerline of the symbols with the Nearest snap. This way, the packages will be inserted as far away from the wall as the other symbols. The Tip text for this symbol package dialog opens.

  7. For the tip text, enter SO_PACKAGE1 1-switch and plug socket for cleaning.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Indicate the corner points of an area that you want to see in the icon menu.
