Editing Symbol Elements

To select elements in a symbol, enable Select Mode by clicking the icon in the toolbar. Select an element by clicking on it. To add an element to the existing selection, CTRL+click on the element. More than one element may be selected together by dragging. While dragging, you will see the selection rectangle displayed. All elements within the rectangle are selected.

To zoom in on an area, drag the mouse with the SHIFT key down. The rectangle is displayed when you drag. After dragging the selected rectangle will be zoomed to fill the entire window. See “Symbol Window Zoom Controls” for more information on zoom controls.

The Symbol Window supports the usual clipboard operations: Cut, Copy, and Paste. The options are available in the View menu, in the toolbar, and in the pop-up menu.

In Select Mode, the selected elements can be duplicated by dragging them with the CTRL key held down. The selected elements remain unmoved, and the copy of the selection may be dragged to the desired position.

To delete symbol elements, select them, right-click and select Delete. This command is also available in the Edit menu.
