Symbol Browser Window

The Symbol Browser Window is located on the lower left side of the application window and is opened by clicking the Symbol tab.

It contains a browser tree that lists symbols that are available for you to use in diagrams. Below the browser tree is the Symbol Browser Window that allows you to view a symbol before adding it to a diagram. You can preview the symbols by using the arrow-up and arrow-down keys to cycle through the symbol list.

To launch Capital Symbol Designer, right-click on a symbol library name or a symbol name and select Edit Symbol. Capital Symbol Designer is launched in a separate window with the appropriate library and symbol open.
