A symbol is a document with an .sym extension. You can create a symbol by selecting any geometry and clicking Create Symbol on the Symbol toolbar (or Draw toolbar depending on your software). You must then define the origin by clicking the point that you want in the select set. After defining the origin, you can save the select set as a symbol with the Save As dialog box.

Symbols that you create display a 90 degree rotation angle as a default behavior.

To preserve the data integrity of your custom symbol files from one software version to the next, we recommend after installing the latest version of the software that you open all your custom symbol files and save them to new file format.
