Create the required layers, and any optional layers, for the symbol. See Symbol Naming Conventions for the recommended layers to use in each type of symbol. Most of the layers are included in the template files, but not required. However, when used properly, layers provide a good correlation between the geometry, groups, and symbol representations that are created, aid in controlling the display within 2D Symbols by turning layers on and off, and make it easier for others to understand the symbol during future editing.

Steps for symbol creation assume that the recommended layers have been created.

  1. Click Tools > Layers to display the Layer toolbar.

  2. Click Layer Status to open the Layer Display dialog box.

  3. Clear Active layer only and Occupied only, and select all layers if necessary so that they are bold.

  4. Click Apply. All layers display.

  5. Click Close.

  6. Create layers by entering the name in the text box of the Layer toolbar.
