Adding Tooltips to Custom Properties
You can configure a description for each Custom Property available in the Symbol. After creating a Symbol,
open it with the Symbol Editor, right-click in the Symbol Editor (not on the Symbol itself) and choose Edit
Symbol Properties from the shortcut menu.
When assigning values to the Custom Properties of the Symbol on the screens, the user can read the
description as Tooltips just by moving the mouse cursor on the property name, as illustrated on the following
picture:

Making a User-Made Symbol Available to Other Projects
User-made Symbols are normally available only in the project where they were initially created and saved.
However, you can send a user-made Symbol to the System Symbols folder of the Library, to make it available
to all of your projects:
1. In the Symbols folder of the Project Explorer, right-click the desired Symbol file ( .sym ) and then choose
Send to System Symbols from the shortcut menu. A standard Save As dialog is displayed, automatically
pointing to the \Symbol sub-directory of the IWS program directory instead of the \Symbol sub-folder of
your project folder.
Saving a Symbol
2. Choose a location in which to save the Symbol file. You can choose one of the existing categories/folders,
or you can create a new one.
