This dialog allows you to associate or dissociate custom symbols that already exist in Catalog Manager. You associate custom symbols with plant items that you select in the Electrical Index, EDE, or Reference Data Explorer. Also, you make the association for a specific drawing type (single line diagram, wiring diagram, and so forth). The associated custom symbols will then appear in the generated drawings for all the plant items that you selected.
When dissociating custom symbols, select the required item tags in the Electrical Index, EDE, or Reference Data Explorer and select Remove.
