Use this dialog to modify a control description symbol.  Note: The symbol can only be modified if you have first configured Condes to "use my own symbol file", using the Folder Settings dialog.

If you have just created a new symbol, the fields in this dialog are still empty and need to be filled in.   The symbol itself needs to be created using a draw program (such as Corel Draw or Metafile Companion) which can save the symbol as a file in Windows Metafile format or copy the symbol to the Windows clipboard in the mentioned format.

When the symbol is available in any of the two forms, use the "Read" button to import the symbol from a .WMF/.EMF file, or use the "Paste" button to paste the symbol from the Windows clipboard.   Then use the Scale X and Y fields to scale the symbol to an appropriate size.

Don't forget to fill in the symbol number field.  The number is how you can distinguish your new symbol.

Symbol number
