Hiding the Symbol Gallery Window
To hide the Symbol Gallery panel, select the Symbol Gallery item in the View
menu to uncheck it, or click the X “go away” box in the upper right corner of the
panel.
Using Elements from the Symbol Gallery
To add an item displayed in the Symbol Gallery list to the symbol editing win-
dow, simply drag and drop it at the desired location. Here are some additional
notes on this operation:
The complete item dragged from the list will be added to the current symbol
as a grouped graphic item. If you then wish to edit the individual elements
of the new item, you can right-click on it and select the Ungroup command.
The placed item can be rotated to a new orientation by right-clicking on the
item and choosing one of the Rotate or Flip commands.
If the placed item contains one or more pins, these will be added to the pin
list or matched with existing, unplaced items in the list. The program
attempts to use the name that was assigned to the pin when it was added to
the element, but will add or increment a numeric portion of the name in
order to create a unique name.
Adding Elements to the Symbol Gallery
The Symbol Gallery is simply a normal symbol library file which is selected to
have its contents displayed in the Symbol Gallery list. Thus, all the usual meth-
ods for creating, editing and updating symbols can be used on items in the
library.
The Symbol Gallery file is not normally open by default, so it must be explicitly
opened before you can save items to it or edit it. To open this file, right-click in
the parts list and select the Open Lib command. Use the file open box to select
the Symbol Gallery file.
In a default LogicWorks installation, this file is called “symbol_gallery.clf” and
is located inside a folder called Data Files inside the LogicWorks program
folder. If the LogicWorks initialization file has been modified to specify a dif-
ferent file, you will have to locate that file. See “Symbol Gallery Location” on
