2D Symbols Library

The 2D Symbols library includes many categories of symbols for you to add to you design. When a category is selected its contents are displayed in the Preview Bar. You can then drag-and-drop a symbol into your design. These are visual representations you can add to your design that do not appear in the 3D view.

Additionally, the 2D Symbols User Library allows you organize your 2D Symbols into your own categories and edit object details. For more information on the different content libraries, see “Organizing Library Content”
