To use MicroStation cells as symbols in your document, the cells must first be converted into individual symbols (.sym). On the File menu, Open allows you to open a MicroStation cell library. A folder is created, with the same name as the cell library. The individual cells within the library are saved as individual symbols in the new folder.

To use this functionality, you must install the Translators option.

You can drag these symbols from the Symbol Explorer or Windows Explorer into other SmartSketch documents.

Options for the cell library units (SU and PU) can be set on the MicroStation Import Options dialog box. You can access this dialog box by clicking Options on the Tools menu. Then, on the Foreign Data tab, you can enter the appropriate working units in the SU: and PU: fields.

Symbols in your document are saved as MicroStation cells during translation from your document to MicroStation formats.
