I'm spending tons of time creating new symbols for things like motor drives, 3 wire limit switches, etc. Now you'll be asked to select a menu file, we're using schematic drawings, not panel drawings so we select Schematic there and it brings up the DAT file, the default DAT file, now we're using NFPA standards as well so you can see that that's the NFPA menu.DAT file I'll click on OK, also I've done that, the Icon Menu Wizard comes up and it looks remarkably like the icon menu that you used to insert symbols into your schematic drawings. I'm new to AutoCAD and I'm finding the symbol library that comes stock to be very limited. So we'll keep the control.dwg file open, go to the Schematic tab on the ribbon and you want to go to the other Tools panel here and select Icon Menu Wizard.

What we're going to look at now is customizing the Icon Menu to add our custom symbols to it so they can be used over and over again. Creating Keyboard Shortcuts in AutoCAD Electrical Updating All Drawing Settings (Descriptions) Using Excel Making Changes to the ENTIRE Symbol Library. We're staying in our control.dwg file in our Project 004, and what you can see there that I've done is zoom extense, there's our custom symbol that we brought in the previous video.
