              (*) Available when instances of text have been selected

Options

:SYM_NAME defines the name of the symbol to appear in the symbols browser.
:SYM_CATEGORY specifies the category in which the symbol should appear in the symbols browser. (Optional)
:SYM_PIXMAP specifies the pixmap file used to represent the symbol in the symbols browser. (Optional)
:FILE2D_OUT specifies the MI file to which to save the symbol's 2D data. The file is recalled when the symbol is created on the drawing.
:NEW_SYMBOL specifies the symbol or sketch to define and register as the new symbol.
(*) When :NEW_SYMBOL has been specified, the following options become available after instances of text have been selected by clicking them in the Annotation viewport:
- :P00..P04 defines the symbol parameter names for the displayed subset of the complete symbol parameter list.
- :PREV switches to the previous subset of five symbol parameters of the complete symbol parameter list. It is only available when there are more then five parameters defined.
- :NEXT switches to the following subset of five symbol parameters of the complete symbol parameter list. It is only available when there are more then five parameters defined.
- :FIX clears the complete parameter list. The symbol will then have no editable parameters.

When to use

Use this action to define and register an already existing symbol or sketch for later use as a file-based symbol.
