Symbols
As symbols are not shown in the tree view of the Control Panel it is not
possibletocopythemfromthereintotheLibraryEditor.
Symbols are copied from one library into another the same way as one
would do it within the same library. Therefore we use the commands
GROUP,CUT,andPASTE(seepreviousparagraph).
The only difference to copying a symbol within a library is that you have
to open the other library (File/Open) after CUT and click into the
group. Then you define a new symbol that may have the same or an
-
othernameasbefore.
