Replacing Objects with SymbolsReplacing Objects with SymbolsThe Replace with Symbol command converts a selected object into a specified symbol. The symbol can use the records provided with the original object, the records associated with the replacement symbol, or both. If an imported Shapefile (Vectorworks Architect or Landmark required) contains data markers that indicate the location of certain types of objects, you can convert the markers into a symbol that better suits your drawing.
To replace an object with a symbol:
Select the object to be replaced.
Select Modify > Convert > Replace with Symbol.
The Choose a Symbol dialog box opens.
Select a symbol, and then select whether to use the original object records and the replacement symbol records.
Click OK, and then confirm that you want to replace all selected objects.
