Symbol

Block/Wblock	Select Block to insert your new component into your drawing or Wblock to save a copy of your new symbol. If Wblock is selected, the File path is available. Note: The Block option is not available if you browsed to an existing symbol on the Select Symbol / Objects dialog box. It is because the drawing file for the library symbol is opened.
Orientation	The first character of the symbol, “H” for horizontal or “V” for vertical.
Catalog name	Symbol Name: The next two characters of the symbol name indicate the family type and can match the symbol to a catalog lookup table. Note: Schematic terminals use “T1” for a terminal that triggers a wire number change. They use “T0” for a terminal that does not trigger a wire number change. WDBLKNAM: On a schematic symbol, the WDBLKNAM value overrides the catalog lookup table defined by the second and third characters of the symbol name. The WDBLKNAM value is always used on panel footprint symbols to match the symbol to a catalog lookup table.
Type	The fourth character of the symbol name can be a “1” for a parent symbol, “2” for a child symbol, or user-defined for other symbol types.
Contact	If the symbol is a schematic child, the fifth character is “1” for normally open or “2” for normally closed, otherwise it is user-defined.
Unique identifier	Additional characters added to the symbol name to make it unique.
Symbol name	The symbol file name. Symbol Builder suggests a file name based on the orientation, catalog lookup, type, contact, and unique identifier. Edit the symbol name as needed.
File path	The name of the folder for the symbol. Browse to a folder or enter in the folder name.
Details	Opens the Symbol Audit dialog box to view the specific errors.

Base point

Enter the base point coordinates for the symbol or select Pick point to select on the drawing. Select Specify on Screen to specify the base point after selecting OK. The coordinates become the insertion base point for the symbol.

Image

Icon image	Create an image to use if you add this new symbol to an icon menu.
Name	The image file name. Image files are created as a .png file type.
File path	The name of the folder for the image file. Browse to a folder or enter in the folder name.
