Hey All, I have been updating my symbols, and needed to build a pictorial and rack view symbol for a UDP.

Thinking I would save some time and import the manufacturer's line art, I went to edit symbol, then the tab I wanted, then File>import. I browsed to the file, selected it, clicked Open but nothing seems to happen. The file selection dialog closes, but no dwg appears anywhere in my project that I can find. Certainly not in the edit window for the Pictorial view of the symbol.

So, what am I missing? What does File> import do? Where does the imported .dwg end up and what can it be used for?

Is there some other way to avoid drawing pictorial and rack views with the primitive drawing tools in SD7? Some of the library symbols are pretty clearly line art that has been turned into dwg and then brought into the symbol.

Thanks,
zuk
