Select Point Symbols

The Point Symbol dialog allows you to select a style to apply to a point either directly using the Point Symbol command or as part of a point label using the Label Style Manager or Label Points commands.

Prerequisites:

None.

To select a symbol for points:

  1. Do any of the following to display the Point Symbol dialog:
    • Select Point Symbol.
    • When using the Label Style Manager dialog to create or edit a point label, on the Point Styles tab, select Symbol in the Label type drop-down list or click the Browse button.
    • When using the Label Points dialog to apply a point label for which a symbol property has been specified in the Label Style Manager dialog, click the Browse button. (This is necessary only if you want to change the symbol.)
  2. In the Point Symbols dialog, select the symbol you want to use and enter a point size.
  3. Click OK.

    The code for the symbol and the point size are displayed in the Symbol code and Symbol size fields.
