Getting Started
Now you are going to create the Symbol Graphics by selecting 'Draw' and the menu
lists the available commands. Make sure that the 'Line type' is set to continuous and
that the 'Line width' is set to '1'. Note the information bar at the bottom of your
screen. There you can see and also modify the settings for line type and line width.
To make it more convenient, the display scale should be larger, therefore press
(this changes only the zoom factor).
Using lines you can now draw the two NC contacts. Turn Snap mode on (, 'S' in the
last line of the screen) and also Orthogonal mode (, 'O' as second character).
Select 'Draw-Line' from the menu and draw a line from 100.0/140.0 mm to
100.0/137.5 mm, and then the horizontal part to 101.5/137.5 mm. You must turn
Snap off to do this! Quit the line command with the right mo use key (twice). Now you
are going to copy the lines. Select 'Draw- Repeat' and position the cursor at
105.0/50.0 mm (Snap turned on) and press the left mouse key.

Now create the lower part of the NC contact by drawing a line from
100.0/132.5 mm to 100.0/135mm. Turn Orthogonal () and
Snap () off and draw the second line diagonally to 101/138mm.
Copy this line with 'Repeat' to 105.0/132.5 mm.
Draw a line to represent the pusher from 95.0/137.5 mm to 95.0/135.0 mm (Snap
off, Orthogonal on) and a dashed line (change to line type 7) from 95.0/136.3 mm to
105.5/136.3 mm. The graphic of the symbol are now complete.
In this example, the pins are the only parts of the symbol with great importance, when
using the automatic functions.
To place the pins on the symbol, select 'Pins - Place' on the main menu and the dialog
'Place Pins' appears.
Accept the default settings with 'OK' and position the cursor on the four ends to set the
pins. (Note that Snap is on, as it cannot be turned off.). Exit by clicking the right mouse
button after setting the fourth pin.
Select 'Pin number' from the menu 'Pins'. Select the first end,
enter the first pin number e.g. 1 and press the left mouse button (or
). Place the number on the right hand side of the pin, the
direction is always horizontal.
