Standard Insertion

Inserts the symbol based on its specified insertion point, or aligned according to one of the symbol alignment modes

Offset Insertion

Inserts the symbol in a wall according to an offset reference point

Symbol Pick up

Designates a symbol from the drawing as the active symbol

Wall Insertion

Toggles between inserting a symbol or plug-in object into a wall with wall breaks, and inserting a symbol or plug-in object near or on a wall without breaking it.

To prevent all symbol and plug-in objects from inserting into walls, turn off Wall Insertion mode. When Wall Insertion mode is enabled, objects that have the Insert in Walls option enabled will insert into walls.

Symbol Alignment Modes

These alignment modes apply to Standard Insertion mode, and temporarily override the insertion point. These modes change the alignment of the insertion point along the X axis of the bounding box surrounding the symbol. Alternatively, keep the original point as the insertion point.

Align Symbol Left

Moves the insertion point to the left edge of the symbol’s bounding box, along the original X axis

Align Symbol Center

Moves the insertion point to the center of the symbol’s bounding box, along the original X axis

Align Symbol Right

Moves the insertion point to the right edge of the symbol’s bounding box, along the original X axis

Align Actual Insertion Point

Uses the symbol’s originally specified insertion point

Active Symbol Def

Selects a symbol definition for placement. The files and folders available in the current document, in other open documents, and in Favorites are listed on the left. Select a file to display thumbnails of the symbol definitions available in that location, and select the desired symbol definition.
