Place a Printer on the Diagram

You can manipulate a symbol in a variety of ways, including resizing it and moving it to a different location. In this exercise you will place a symbol onto your drawing sheet, use its scale handle to resize it, and then move the symbol to another location on the drawing sheet.

Click the Show Me   button on the SmartSketch Learning Center toolbar to view a demonstration of the tasks in this lesson.

1. In the Symbol Explorer, expand the Network folder; then click the Printers - Plotters folder.
2. In the Printers folder, locate the Designjet Printer genr3013.sym symbol.
3. Drag the symbol from the Symbol Explorer and drop it in the upper right corner of the drawing sheet.
