Creating Symbols

You can create vector, font, and raster symbols. You create symbols using an XML editor, and some XML programming experience is helpful. Once you create a symbol, you can import it into a symbol library. See Importing Images into a Symbol Library and Importing Font Characters as Symbols.

To create a symbol

1. Click File menu > New > Symbol Definition and then click New Vector Symbol, New Font Symbol, or New Raster Symbol.
2. Use the sample code as a guide for defining your new symbol.
3. Click Save on the Infrastructure Studio toolbar.

   The symbol is saved as a new resource. Specify a name and location for it.
