Adding symbols to the symbol pallette

[maurya]

Hello

I would like to know..how to

1.Define a symbol so that I can use it in the Drawing.

2.Add the symbol so defined to the symbol pallette that comes with Pro/E.

You can create a symbol with the following ways:



Creating a symbol shame by drafting

 

[proed]

To create a new symbol in a drawing:

Format | Symbol Gallery | Define and give it a name.



Sketch entities (lines, etc) or use existing entities - Copy drawing



To include variable text in a symbol note, place backslashes around it, eg: \text\ - this will allow you to change the text for each symbol placement



Attributes define how the symbol will be placed in a drawing:

- Placement - free, on entity, with leaders, etc

- Height - fixed, variable (related to drawing, view or text)

- Variable text values



Write the symbol to disk, for use in other drawings



To start a symbol palette, first create a drawing entitled palette.drw.



Next, insert your symbols into this drawing, scaling appropriately so you can see them



Add a line to your config.pro like this:

symbol_instance_palette_file c:\symbols\palette.drw



To place a symbol from this palette into a drawing, use Insert | Symbol Instance then Pick from Palette
