Edit sketch symbols

What's New: 2024.1

1. In the graphics window, right-click one or more symbols of the same type, and then select the appropriate edit option:
   • Edit Definition to modify the original symbol sketch. All instances of the symbol update with the changes.
   • Edit Symbols to change the selected symbol settings in the Sketch Symbol dialog box.
   • Properties to modify symbol properties. Change Line Type, Line Weight, Color, and Scale.
2. To move, rotate, or resize a sketch symbol, select the symbol in the graphics window to show its grip points.
   Note: For static symbols, only the green grip point is displayed. Clear the Static option in the Sketch Symbol dialog box to display all grip points.
3. Click a grip point, and do one:
   • Drag the green point to move the symbol to the appropriate location.

     If the symbol contains connection points , use the connection points to snap to other geometry in the drawing sheet.

   • Drag the blue point to rotate the symbol.
   • Drag a yellow point to set size for the symbol.
     Note: If an insert or connection point is coincident with a resize grip, the insert/connection point takes precedence. Resize using an alternate grip or change the scale in the Sketch Symbol dialog box.
