By following these tasks in order, you can create your own opening symbol quickly and easily.

Open and Set Up the Symbol File

The software delivers several templates that you can use to create your custom symbols. For more information, see Open and Set Up the Symbol File.

Manage Layers and Display Settings

Create the required layers, and any optional layers, for the symbol. For more information, see Manage Layers.

After you have created the layers, adjust the display settings to meet your needs. For more information, see Set Display Settings.

Sketch and Constrain Opening Construction Elements

The first step in creating your symbol is to sketch and constrain the construction elements. Construction elements aid in the definition and proper constraint of the final symbol geometry. For more information, see Sketch and Constrain Opening Construction Elements.

Sketch and Constrain Opening Geometry

After the construction elements are defined, define the actual opening geometry and constrain it. For more information, see Sketch and Constrain Opening Geometry.

Group Opening Geometry

You must group the symbol geometry together. For more information, see Create Opening Group.

Define Symbol Properties

One of the most important steps of symbol creation is to map the dimensions in your symbol to the corresponding symbol parameter in your catalog workbook. For more information, see Define Opening Symbol Properties.

Define Symbol Representation

Assign the group to a symbol representation. For more information, see Create Opening Symbol Representation.

Test Symbol Geometry

To verify that the geometry is properly constrained and behaves correctly, you need to test the symbol. For more information, see Testing Symbol Geometry.

Adding Symbol Data to the Catalog

Add the part class of the symbol to the appropriate workbook from which it can be loaded into the Catalog database. For more information, see Adding Symbol Data to the Catalog.
