Editing the Symbol Options of Multiple Symbol Definitions

The symbol options of multiple symbol definitions that are selected in the Resource Manager can be edited at one time.

To edit the symbol options of multiple symbols:

  1. From the Resource Manager, select the symbols to be edited.

  2. Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on the resources, and select Edit Symbol Options from the context menu.

  3. The Symbol Options dialog box opens.

  4. Edit the options as desired. The options are the same as those described in Creating Symbol Definitions. However, the dialog box displays the current status of parameters for the selected symbol definitions. When the parameter settings of the symbols are different, the option displays as blank, or a check box displays with an “indeterminate state”; any edits to that parameter affect all the selections.

  5. If the selection contains a mixed set of symbol types, the available conversion options may differ (Convert to Group/Convert to Plug-in Object).

  6. Click OK.
