Symbols are resources available from the Resource Browser. To open the Resource Browser, select Windows > Palettes > Resource Browser. Display the symbol to insert in the Resource Browser (see Accessing Existing Resources).
The currently active symbol is inserted; the active symbol’s name displays at the bottom of the Resource Browser. Clicking on the active symbol button automatically displays the currently active symbol in the resource display window.
Symbols are inserted with different tools depending on the current view and projection. In 2D Top/Plan view, symbols are inserted with the 2D Symbol Insertion tool, and in a 3D view, with the 3D Symbol Insertion tool. Symbols can be inserted as individual objects or inserted to become part of a wall. Symbols can also be dragged from the Resource Browser into the drawing. Before inserting a symbol, consider the current view and which insertion mode to use.
