Each type of symbol can carry a different set of attributes so it is important to start with the right type to end up with the right type.

The trick is to select the same type of block to begin with, ie use a terminal block if you want a custom terminal block, use a relay coil if that is what you are trying to create. It will walk you through what was previously referred to in a post above, explode a standard block change the geometry to your liking, rename and away you go. There is a good little walk through for creating smart blocks in the tut that comes with every version of ACE. If you go into the select manufacturer install, you will see a ton of them available.Īnd just about everyone does end up making their own symbols sooner or later. By the way, initial install only brings in 3 manufactures. And these are just the graphics, there 1000s of parts and many manufacturers in the default catalog. Open up your folders and see what you really have installed. That is to say that from selecting a terminal block from the icon menu, you may have 1000 or more part numbers you can associate to that symbol. And remember that what you see in the icon menu is only a representation of what is available. Did you install all of the libraries? Default install bring in a few but there are 5 or 6 libraries can be selected during or after initial install.
