About Symbol Palettes

Each drawing type (schematic, wiring diagram, or mixed scheme) has its symbol palette. It includes frequently used symbols as well as access to all symbols available in the electrical project libraries.

The palettes are fully customizable: you can add or remove symbols or groups of symbols. You can configure the use of symbol palettes in the electrical project configuration libraries and palettes tab, and the palette configuration.

  • To access the symbol palette, in a dockable panel, click Symbols .
  • To insert a symbol or a terminal:
    1. Double-click the symbol or use a Drag and Drop.
    2. Click a point in the drawing to insert the symbol.
