Hello,

I am preparing rack symbols for some products, and I define the width, depth and hight, and get a frame in the symbol library, with the correct dimensions.
I now put in images of the front and rear view of the products (frm product manuals), and I align and scale the image to the frame size.
Looks fine, I can switch between front, rear and side views.
I save the symbol.
When I want to use the symbol, the frame still have the correct size, but the image is scaled totally wrong, the image "size" is correct but the image is only displayed in one corner.
This worked ok in the A/V 2007 version.

Also, how do I exit the symbol editor, is it only bye the X button in the upper corner, or is there another way ?

Next step is to do a proper RACK drawing, and usually we use front, rear and side view in the same drawing, this is quickly fixed in A/V 2007, but seems to be totally impossible in the new version ?
In the A/V 2007 version, You just took a copy of the rack parts (in ungrouped mode) of the rear or side view, and pasted in this into the front view, now when You try You get
a messed up drawing with copies of the front view, but with incorrect placed objects...

Currently it seems that I need to go back to the old version, remake all customized products and redo all work in version A/V 2007, but I clearly hope not.
It seems that a lot of basic functionality in A/V 2007 doesn't even exist in version 7 ?!?

I hope I am wrong, but I seems to be pushed into a corner, where there is basic functionality that You are used to is missing (?)

Help!
