Add Symbols

TOTAL for Tablet PC provides a set of the most common icons you need to annotate your sketch. To place an icon on your sketch:

1. In a sketch, click Symbols in the Sketch Panel on the right to expand the list of symbols.

   

   	Note: If you need to place several copies of the same symbol throughout your sketch, first enable Stamp Mode and then select and place the symbol. Since Stamp Mode doesn't require you to reselect the same symbol, you can keep clicking to place additional copies of your selected symbol.

2. Choose the symbol category from the drop-down list at the top, then select you Symbol from the list.
3. Once the symbol appears in the sketch, it's attached to your cursor. Move your cursor to the place you want to drop it and click to drop it.
4. From there, you can adjust the symbol as needed:
   • To rotate the symbol, click and drag the green circle above the image.

     

   • To delete the symbol, select it and press Delete on your keyboard, or click the Delete icon in the sketch toolbar.
   • To move the symbol, select it and then drag it to the desired location.
   • To resize the symbol, select any one of the black circles - called "handles" - surrounding the image and drag the "handle" to shrink or enlarge the symbol. To keep the proportions in sync, be sure to check the Constrain Proportions box in the Properties panel before resizing it.

     

   • You can also adjust the size of your symbol using the Properties panel on the right.  Simply select the symbol from your sketch, then enter the Height and Width dimensions in the Properties panel.

     

5. Next to each symbol is a star icon (  ). Click the star icon to add a symbol as a favorite. This makes the symbol easier to access by grouping it together with other symbols you frequently use in the Favorites category via the Symbols drop-down menu.
