Hello,

Can Anyone let me know different types of symbols? I just now heard from a designer that detail symbol is also there. Actually, I am into toolkit so little bit new into design.

Regards

Ketan

Symbols can be pretty much anything you would use over and over.

Defined files and defaults, while in a drawing or model, can be found under the Annotate tab > Symbol.

Three options are available (4 in modeling:

  • Symbol from palette: It will open a separate window of industry standard images where you can select a desired symbol then place it on the object.
  • Custom Drawing Symbol: Selecting this will take you to the symbol folder (if defined) and provide you with symbols that one has created.
  • Symbol Gallery: allows one to make or save a selection as a symbol.  grouping definitions and variable texts can be defined with a symbol (text for a revision balloon)

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you very much for this info.

    IS there a way to identify different types of symbol? as per me, it is name of symbol only which can help us to identify different symbols.

    Regards

    During the creation of a symbol, you can name it anything you like.

    Preferably something that is tangible to the symbol itself like "revball.sym" for a revision balloon or "key_note.sym" for a key note tag

    You could also group them in folders too
