  1. Click Start > All Programs > Intergraph Smart Isometrics > Symbol Editor.

    The symbol editor software opens.

  2. Click File > Select Project.

    The Select Project dialog box displays.

  3. In the Isometric Directory list, select the isometric directory that contains the project to connect.

  4. Select the required project in the Project List, and then click OK.

  5. Right-click a component in the Library Explorer, and select New Symbol from the context menu. Alternatively, select a component type in the Library Explorer, and then click Symbol > New Symbol.

    The New Symbol dialog box displays.

  6. Specify the required options for the new symbol.

    • Use the Original SKEY list to specify the standard symbol on which the new symbol is to be based.

    • Select Copy original symbol graphics to make the standard symbol shape available for editing.

    • If the symbol to be redefined is a valve or instrument, use the Spindle SKEY list to specify the required spindle. For example, select the 01SP spindle.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Modify the symbol as needed.

    • Use the commands on the Symbol menu to modify the symbol shape or add tapping points.

    • Click in the Edit window, and use the commands on the toolbar and the Symbol menu to draw additional lines for the symbol. Click Undo to correct any mistakes. Right-click to stop drawing lines.

      After you have redefined the symbol, click File > Save to Project.

      The redefined symbol data is stored in the project .xml file. Smart Isometrics can read this .xml file and display the redefined symbol shapes in the pipeline model or output them on the isometric drawing.

  9. Click File > Exit to close the editor.

  • For more detailed information about using the tools and techniques in this workflow, see the Isogen Symbol Editor Help.

  • To display redefined symbols in the pipeline model, you must connect to the same project as was used to redefine the symbol in Symbol Editor.

  • To output redefined symbols on the isometric drawing, you must select Use project symbols on the Generate Drawings dialog box.
