Placing Symbols
1 If necessary, create the symbol family in the Family Editor, and load it into the project. To create
the symbol family, use the Generic Annotation template. See
Family Editor Basics on page 341
and Loading Families on page 352.
As you create a symbol family, you notice that you can only see it in one view. Like other
annotations, it is view-specific.
2 Click Drafting menu
➤
Symbol, or on the Drafting tab of the Design Bar, click Symbol.
3 Place the cursor in the drawing area where you want the symbol to appear.
4 Click to place it.
Modifying Symbols
You can modify the appearance of symbols through their properties. Properties are modifiable before or
after you place the symbol. See
Symbols on page 1071.
You set symbol properties in the Element Properties dialog. To open this dialog, do one of the following:
■ Click the Modify button, select the symbol, and click .
■ Right-click the symbol, and click Element Properties.
See Element Properties Dialog on page 75. Read about this dialog before modifying symbols.
Annotation Symbols
An annotation symbol is a tag or symbol applied to a family to uniquely identify that family in a project.
The tag can also include properties that appear on schedules. See
Creating a Schedule or Quantity on page
125.
You create annotation symbols by selecting the family category with which you want to associate the symbol,
sketching the symbol, and applying values to its properties. Some annotation families are for tag purposes.
Others are generic annotations used for varying purposes.
Before reading this topic, you should familiarize yourself with families by reading Family Editor Basics on
page 341.
Creating an Annotation Symbol Family
The following procedure is a general procedure for creating an annotation symbol. Your steps may differ
based on design intent.
