Symbols dialog box

Adds sketched symbols to a drawing sheet. You can rotate and scale the symbols as you add them, add leaders, and associate the symbols to views on the sheet.

Access:

Ribbon: Annotate tab Symbols panel User In the Model browser, click to expand the Drawing Resources folder and then click to expand the Sketched Symbols folder. Right-click one of the entries and select Symbols.

Symbol list	Lists sketched (user-defined) symbols available in the drawing. Contents can be sorted using drag and drop or right-click in the list and choose Sort by Name. The default order is the same as the browser.
Scale	Sets the scale for the symbol, relative to the drawing sheet.
Rotate	Specifies symbol rotation around the insertion point. If the symbol does not have a defined insertion point, rotates the symbol around its center.
Symbol Clipping	Select the check box to trim dimension lines, leader lines, and extension lines behind symbols attached to a drawing view. Clear the check box to show leader or extension lines across the symbol.
Static	Specifies if the symbol can be manually resized and rotated on the drawing sheet. Select the Static check box to turn off scale and rotation grip points on the symbol. Clear the check box to allow manual resizing and rotation of the symbol.
Leader	Select the check box to add a leader. Clear the check box to place the symbol without a leader. When editing a symbol, clearing the Leader check box deletes the leader. Note: If a sketched symbol is created without a leader or edited to delete a leader, it loses its association with model properties. Restoring a leader re-associates the symbol with model properties. The Visible check box specifies whether the leader is visible. If not visible, the dashed leader line is shown while the leader is created or the symbol instance is manipulated.
