A symbol is a whole or partial representation of an electrical device. The symbols are
classified within the library, which you can populate with your own symbols. The symbols are
also classified and grouped in palettes that are displayed in the dockable panel.
A device is also called a component and is represented by one or more electrical symbols. Only
a symbol from the library may be taken into account to be managed by SOLIDWORKS
Electrical.
Many methods of symbol insertion are available:
- Insert symbol
- Symbol Palette
- The dockable panel
Schematic Symbols
You can insert a symbol in a Schematic or Mixed
scheme drawing.
Line Diagram Symbols
Line diagram symbols can only be inserted into Line diagram or
Mixed scheme drawings.
