◦ Pick Inst—Selects a symbol by picking an instance of the symbol in the drawing.
◦ Retrieve—Retrieves a symbol definition from disk by picking the name from the namelist menu. Move along the directory tree, when needed, to select the symbol.
3. Select one of these from the INST ATTACH menu:
◦ Leader—Creates the symbol with a leader. Select a command from the ATTACH TYPE menu.
◦ Entity—Attaches the symbol to an entity.

 You can also add surface finish symbols as user-symbols by creating an instance of a generic surface finish symbol stored in the surface finish symbols library. |
