  1. Click Start > All Programs > Intergraph Smart 3D > 2D Symbols.

  2. Select the template to start with by clicking File > New.

    • You can also start with an existing symbol file similar to the needed symbol. Click File > Open and select the file.

    • An existing symbol file cannot be opened in 2D Symbols by double-clicking it. Double-clicking the file will open it in SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

    • Templates are delivered to the [Product Folder]\Common2D\Symbol2D\Templates folder by default.

    • Existing marine symbols are delivered to the [Product Folder]\ShipStructure\Data folder by default.

  3. Click File > Save As and save the symbol file with a new name to a different working folder. Verify that the extension of the file is .sym.

    Do not save your symbols in a folder that is under the software delivery folder. If you ever reload the software, your custom symbols files may get deleted. Always save your symbols to a folder that is backed up regularly.

  4. Right-click in the graphic view, and if required, select Grid Display and Grid Snap to assist in drawing the symbol.
