Details on Free Symbols
Information about the Free Symbols dialog.
In the Free symbols dialog, you can assign your own symbols to the symbol placeholders. A symbol is a drawing saved in DWG format. Therefore, you can use any drawn object (even multiples) as a symbol. The objects can be taken from the current drawing via the Properties dialog () or loaded from another file in DWG format.
