User-defined symbols, whether .SYM files created with the Symbol Maker or .BMP files added to the Symbols folder, can be created and added to the toolbox.
Add a user-defined symbol to the toolbox:
In the toolbox double-click on a symbol which should be replaced with the user-defined symbol, such as a .SYM or .BMP file.
Under User Defined Shapes, choose the symbol from the list. The list contains all .SYM and .BMP files in the Symbols folder.
Optionally, choose to embed the symbol in the Milestones file.
Notes:
If the symbol is not in the list of User Defined Shapes, be sure that symbol is placed in the Symbols folder. To find this folder which contains the user-defined symbols, choose Tools | Program Options | Folders. Notice the path as shown next to Symbols(*). For example, the Symbols folder could be the My Documents folder.
.SYM files can be formatted with fill color, outline color, fill pattern, and other characteristics.
