Inserting symbols

You can also insert symbols that are not associated with fixtures. This allows you to represent the fixtures when you draw a key or want to show the position of a boom in a plan view. Symbols are not fixtures and, therefore, are not counted in reports. Standard symbols, such as the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) symbols, are available from the library for your use.

To insert symbols

For information on inserting objects from the library, see Working with the Library Browser.

Symbol properties

Options on the Symbol tab affect the fill color and hatch style of a symbol.

• Change Symbol: Click to select a different symbol.
• Hatch Style: The style to use for the hatch. If the Hatch style is None the symbol is transparent. If it is Background, the symbol is filled with the color of the background and is not transparent.
• Fill Color: The color with which you want the symbol to be filled. If the hatch style is None or Background, the fill color is not enabled.
