This workflow demonstrates the ability to further modify a label by creating the symbol file.
-
Browse to the location that you saved the label created with the Label Editor.
The default location is [Product Folder]\SharedContent\Labels\Drawing Labels.
-
Copy all of the files associated to the new label you created. There are four files with different extensions: .rfm, .rfp, .rqe, and .rtp.
-
Browse to [Product Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Labels\Templates, and paste the files.
-
In the Templates folder, perform a copy and paste operation of an existing SYM file. For example, copy and paste SectionSize_None_APO_NL.sym in the same folder.
-
Rename the copied file to match the files you created earlier in the Label Editor.
-
Double-click the new .sym file to open it.
-
Change the text in the Text box to match the label name.
-
Right-click the text box, and select Properties.
-
On the User Tab (Text Box Properties Dialog Box), change the Value field to the name of your label.
See Symbols in Orthographic Drawings for information on editing other symbol properties.
-
Click Add to add the label ID to the symbol properties.
-
Click OK to associate the symbol file to the new label.
