Creating Symbol Libraries

Precondition:

You have opened a project.

  1. Select the following menu items: Utilities > Master data > Symbol library > New
  2. In the Create symbol library dialog select a drive and a directory where you would like to save the new symbol library from the Save in drop-down list.
  3. Overwrite the preset file name <New symbol library.slk> with a name of your choice.
  4. Click [Save].

    If a symbol library with that name already exists in the selected drive and directory, reply to the prompt regarding overwriting the file.
  5. In the Symbol library properties - <Library name> dialog you assign values to the desired properties.
  6. Click [OK].

    The new symbol library is created, transferred to the list of opened symbol libraries, and can be edited. EPLAN then extracts the company code, workstation number, and the short name of the employee from the system and user settings and stores this data in the symbol library.

Note:

A project configuration (Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Management > Symbol libraries) can be used to assign an arbitrary number of symbol libraries to a project. The symbol libraries selected are then stored in the project.
