A symbol library is a file that contains symbol definitions. Symbol libraries provide an external copy of your symbols in case they are deleted from a drawing and they allow you to use your symbols in multiple drawings. Another way to choose symbols, change libraries, and perform other symbolrelated tasks is to use the Content Explorer. Tools for placing symbols and selecting symbol libraries can be accessed from the Draw menu or the Symbol toolset on the All-In-One toolbar. You can also activate the Symbol toolbar (which contains many of the same commands, plus some related commands like Inquire Symbol Count) by right-clicking a bar, then clicking Toolbars on the pop-up menu that appears. Simply check the Symbol check box in the Toolbars dialog box, then click OK to make the Symbol toolbar visible onscreen. To place a symbol by entering a single point 1 Click the Symbol page tab on the Content Librarian. 2 Click and drag the symbol into the drawing. 3 (optional) Rotate the symbol by pressing plus (+) or minus (-) on the numeric keypad, or F5 or SHIFT+F5. 4 Click the basepoint of the symbol. NOTE Symbols with "Draw with Insert" turned on, such as doors and windows, are automatically in Insert Symbol mode. For more information on inserting symbols see, "Inserting Symbols in Lines, Polylines, and Polygons" on page 170. To place a symbol by aligning it with two points 1 Click the Symbol page tab on the Content Librarian. 2 Click and drag the symbol into the drawing. 3 Press CTRL and click a point in the drawing for the symbol basepoint. 4 Click a second point.
