Before you place a symbol on the drawing sheet, you can set an option to link or embed the symbol with Options on the Tools menu. On the Options dialog box, click the Symbols tab to set the option.

Before you open a symbol library, you must either have installed the needed symbols or place the CD-ROM for installing the software in the appropriate drive.

  1. Click File > Open.

  2. Select a template or create a document.

    For example, if you want to open a symbol library of architectural symbols, you can click an architectural template to create a document based on that template.

  3. On the Main toolbar, click Symbol Explorer . The software automatically displays the symbols library associated with the template.

  4. Drag the symbols from the Browser (or Symbol Explorerwindow into the document.

  • If you open or create a document while the Browser (or Symbol Explorer) is open, you must click Home to display the symbol folder associated with the current document or template.

  • You can also use links from a web page to navigate in a symbol library. Sometimes a web page appears depending on the template for the current document.
