The default values of a record attached to a symbol can be changed while editing a symbol definition (see Editing Symbol Definitions). This does not change the record format resource; if other symbols or objects have the record attached, they are unaffected. It does change the future default record values for that symbol.
To change the default field values of a symbol’s record format:
Select a symbol definition.
Select Edit from the Resources menu.
Select the symbol component to edit, and click Edit.
In the Edit Symbol window, deselect all by clicking in an empty area of the window.
In the Object Info palette, click the Data tab.
When no items are selected, the Data tab displays *SYMBOL DEFAULTS* at the top.
Select the desired record in the Record Formats, and then the desired field in the Record Fields. Change the Record Info default value.
Click Exit Symbol at the top right of the drawing window to return to the drawing.
The default field values of the record format for that symbol definition have been changed.
