Creating Custom Symbols in CAD

Before creating custom symbols, see Preparing for Display Modes.

You are recommended to store custom symbol libraries in the Region and M.U.T.C.D. year folder that you plan to use them with. These folders are located in the Contents User folder (see Customizing GuideSIGN Plus -> Saving User Created Content), for example ...Contents User\Design\USA\2009\Symbols.

Note: For the purpose of consistency, a symbol library should contain symbols created using the same units.

To Create a Custom Symbol:

1. Draw a symbol.
2. Add the new symbol to the desired library (see Adding Objects to Custom Libraries).
