Displays files in a folder or World Wide Web pages (HTML pages). You can use the Symbol Explorer window just like you would the Windows Explorer or Windows Internet Explorer. You can also use Symbol Explorer to place symbols (.sym) from the Symbol Explorer window to the current document.

SHARED Tip Within the Symbol Explorer window, you can access several commands that allow you to change or filter the view in the window. For example, you can change the window to show only symbols. You can also add directories or web addresses to a list of favorites. If you want to place several copies of a symbol, you can click the Stamp Here command. To access these commands, place the pointer in the Symbol Explorer window and right-click.

Accesses the Browse for Folder dialog box so that you can locate another folder for the Symbol Explorer to look in. You can use the dialog box to look in directories on your hard drive or a network drive. This command is not available in all software installations.

Address

Sets the current location for the Symbol Explorer. You can type in a folder or a World Wide Web address and then press Enter. Some examples of what you can type in are as follows:

http://www.intergraph.com
C:\PROGRAM FILES\DRAWINGS\

  • If you want to view an HTML page on your hard drive, you must enter the entire path and filename in the address box.

  • If you set the path of the Symbol Explorer to a folder, you can see a tree view, a shell view, and the Attribute Viewer (you might not have the Attribute Viewer).
