Add Symbols

To add symbols to your sketch:

In a sketch, click the Symbols icon ( ) in the toolbar at the top, or click the Symbols tab in the Sketch Panel on the right to expand the list of symbols.
If you need to place several copies of the same symbol throughout your sketch, first enable Stamp Mode. Then, select and place the symbol. Stamp Mode doesn't require you to reselect the same symbol each time, so you can keep clicking to place additional copies of your selected symbol.
Choose the symbol category from the drop‑down list at the top. Then select your symbol from the list.
Once the symbol appears in the sketch, it's attached to your cursor. Position your cursor over the location where you want to drop it and click to place the symbol.
From there, 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, click and 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, or hold the Shift key on your keyboard while adjusting the size.
- 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.
- Next to each symbol is a star icon (). Click the star icon to add that 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.
