SmartDraw Mechanical Diagrams Tutorial

Find More Symbols
If the default library that opens with your SmartTemplate doesn't contain all the symbols you're looking for, you can do a search to find more. In the SmartPanel, click on the Library Selector for the Add Shapes group and select More....

In the More Symbols dialog box you can search for a particular symbol or browse through the categories.

Every SmartDraw library contains keywords that describe its contents. In addition to searching through the symbol names, the SmartDraw search engine searches through these keywords as well.

Type a key word in the Search box of the More Symbols dialog box and click the Search button.

Once the search is completed, the matching libraries are displayed below the search box.

Opening a Library
As you move your cursor over a library, a preview window appears helping you browse through SmartDraw's collection of symbols.

You can open a library by double-clicking on it or clicking the Open Library or OK button in the More Symbols dialog box.
