Step-by-step guide

• Toolbar manufacture → symbols
• activate the symbol required
• enter length of the new symbol
• activate construct position
• construct the position for the new symbol with the sub-menu point construction

To set a new symbol, the required symbol must be selected first. If the symbol is required with the different length from the standard length, the symbol length must be altered. With construct position , set symbol is attached to a point or a line. Clicking on the contour also activates the function. Then, the sub-menu direction construction opens to align the symbol. Symbols are treated as line sequences during further work. With convert , a set symbol can be converted to a different symbol. There is no function for subsequent alteration of the direction. The symbol length can be altered via the dialogue Extras→ Edit symbols.

Example: set symbols
