This workflow demonstrates the ability to further modify a label by creating the symbol file.

  1. Browse to the location that you saved the label created with the Label Editor.

    SHARED Tip The default location is [Product Folder]\SharedContent\Labels\Drawing Labels.

  2. Copy all of the files associated to the new label you created. There are four files with different extensions: .rfm, .rfp, .rqe, and .rtp.

  3. Browse to [Product Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Labels\Templates, and paste the files.

  4. In the Templates folder, perform a copy and paste operation of an existing SYM file. For example, copy and paste SectionSize_None_APO_NL.sym in the same folder.

  5. Rename the copied file to match the files you created earlier in the Label Editor.

  6. Double-click the new .sym file to open it.

  7. Change the text in the Text box to match the label name.

  8. Right-click the text box, and select Properties.

  9. On the User Tab (Text Box Properties Dialog Box), change the Value field to the name of your label.
