Symbology provides graphical clarity to a drawing by differentiating among various items by their appearance. Symbology refers to the color, line width, shape, and style associated with items.

You can use line widths, styles, shapes, and color to differentiate among the different types of drawing items, such as cables, power distribution boards (PDB), equipment, and so forth. For example, you can define symbology that differentiates between associated graphical elements and the unassociated ones (auxiliary graphics and symbols) in composite drawings and conventional CBDs. Also, you can, for example, define a power cable that connects to a PDB as being a black, 2-mm thick continuous line, where as a control cable could be a blue, 1-mm thick, broken line.

Along with the default symbols supplied with the software, you can create your own symbols that can be associated with a document and item type. You create symbols in the Catalog Manager. See Creating Symbols in the Catalog Manager help.
