Manage Symbols

Control which symbols are available for features in your project and how specific features in your data appear in graphic views and in printed output. You can import symbols from symbol (.sym) files. In addition, you can import blocks as symbols from AutoCAD files (.dxf and .dwg). For more information, see this note.

To change a feature's symbol:

• Use the Feature Definition Manager.

To import or remove symbols:

1. Select Symbol Manager in Drafting > Drafting Elements.

   The Symbol Manager dialog displays.

2. Click the Browse button and navigate to the symbol file (.sym, dxf, or.dwg) containing symbols you want to import.

   By default, a Symbols.sym symbol style file is installed in C:\ProgramData\Trimble\CADStyle.

3. Do any of the following:
   • To import all of the symbols from the selected file, click the << button.
   • To import a single symbol from the selected file, select it in the right list and click the < button.
   • To remove a symbol, select it in the left list and click the X button.
4. When you are done, click OK.
