To Store a Symbol Parameter File
While working with a symbol definition, you can save the parameter set to a file in your working directory, and read it in later to create similar parameter sets for other symbol definitions.
1. On the Annotate tab, click the arrow next to Symbol, and click Symbol Gallery. The SYM GALLERY menu appears on the Menu Manager.
2. Click Define and specify symbol name, to locate the symbol to store parameters. The SYMBOL EDIT menu opens.
3. Click Parameters > Write.
4. Type the filename without an extension. The system stores the file with the name "filename.spm" to disk.
5. If the name that you typed for the parameter file already exists in your working directory, type [Y] to replace the existing file or [N] to avoid overwriting; then type a new filename.
