How to use custom symbols

[YS_11267351]

Hello everyone, I cannot for the life of me find a way to use custom symbols I created. I created a symbol using "define symbol", but when I go to use it in "symbol", it is not there. At my last company, I was able to select "custom symbol", but it's not giving me that option here. Thank you in advance.

Legacy Migration tab shows in your screenshot, this would imply you are on Creo 9 +: About Creating, Redefining, and Inserting Symbols (ptc.com)

Hello, thanks for replying. My legacy migration tab still shows the same symbol option (no dropdown or additional buttons for custom symbols :(. Do you think I need to customize my top bar?

Hi,

Q1: What Creo version do you use?

Q2: What does happen when you click Symbol button?

Hello, thanks for replying. 

Q1: I'm using Creo 11

Q2: It goes to the below screen. Symbol customization is only for customizing existing symbols :(, not putting new symbols I created/customized.
