Custom Symbols

A custom symbol is a two-dimensional collection of sketch curves and text grouped together as one selectable entity. You can insert a custom symbol multiple times in the same document and each instance of the symbol can be scaled, rotated, and transformed independent of the others.

Custom symbols can include:

• Any set of sketch curves that you can draw using the tools in the Sketch group.
• Fixed text that always remains the same.
• Editable text that you can change independent of other instances of the symbol.
• Leader attachment points that allow you to add note leaders at one or more points on the symbol.
• Other symbols.

Custom symbols can be attached to geometry. Symbols attached to geometry move with that geometry as it changes

Custom symbols are saved with the document, and can be imported from saved documents.
