Anchor Position
Being aware of
Cursor Position
is important for choosing the anchor position of a symbol.
The anchor is the pixel position on the symbol that corresponds to the geographic
coordinate of the point selected on the map when the symbol is placed. Any newly created
symbol, whether imported, pasted or dragged into the XSym Symbol Editing Grid, has a
default position of center anchor.
XSym lets you change the anchor position of your symbol.
To Select the Anchor Position

1.
Once your
symbol is created
, click the Anchor Position
button.
When you pass your pointer over the Symbol Editing Grid, it changes to a small cross
hair (plus sign).
2.
Click the pixel grid within the symbol to position your anchor.
The anchor location pixel coordinate numbers display after the position text to the
right of the Anchor Position button. The large cross hair in the Symbol Editing Grid
moves from its default anchor position to the new anchor position.
To Center the Anchor Position
Click Center Anchor to place the anchor point in the exact center of the Symbol Editing
Grid.
