If I insert a symbol for a Kitchen cabinet, How do I resize it to fit in the area desired?

Thanks

Hi (Kevin?),

I would suggest editing it in the Symbol Editor (i.e. without exploding it) and then saving it as a new symbol, for the additional size unit. That way you can plunk in standard cabinet units, without having to edit them again in the future.

Or you can explode it and stretch / edit the entities for the what you need now.

So, If I click INSERT and SYMBOL, I can see and insert a myriad of symbols.

If I open the Symbol Browser I can go to the folders where those symbols live but they don't show as an option to insert or edit.

Confused...

Thanks

If you Control-Right Click on an unexploded symbol, there is an option to Edit it.

You can set in Program Preferences to open a symbol in the editor, when you double click on it.
