SmartSketch gives you access to more than 7,500 industry-specific symbols. When you base a drawing or diagram on a SmartSketch template, you automatically get all the tools and features you need to create that particular type of drawing. For example, when you opened the Office Layout template, the Symbol Explorer automatically opened and displayed a default directory containing symbols appropriate for use with that template. 

In this lesson, you will use the Symbol Explorer to furnish the room you created in the previous lesson.
