To place a symbol while scaling it and aligning it to points 1 Click the Symbol page tab on the Content Librarian. 2 Click and drag the symbol into the drawing. 3 Press SHIFT+CTRL and click a point in the drawing for the basepoint of the symbol. 4 Continue pressing SHIFT+CTRL and click a second point. NOTE Instead of choosing a symbol from the Content Librarian, you can click the Symbol Point button on the All-In-One toolbar or click Symbol, Point on the Draw menu. An image or extent box of a symbol appears and moves with the pointer, and its name appears in the drop-down list box on the edit bar. You can place this symbol or select a different symbol from the dropdown list box. Inserting Symbols in Lines, Polylines, and Polygons AutoSketch can automatically open a gap in lines, polylines, or polygons when you insert symbols on top of them. Many symbols are designed for you to place them on top of other entities. For example, door and window symbols in a drawing of a floorplan are usually inserted in polylines representing walls. When you insert a symbol on top of a line, AutoSketch divides the line and deletes the portion of the line in which you inserted the symbol. 170 | Chapter 14 Symbols
