User manual
Customizing the Toolbox 3-8
Choose default symbol text
Assign up to three lines of text to each symbol in the toolbox. When a symbol with Default Text is added to the
schedule, both the symbol and the text appear.
The text is based on user-entered text or text from a selected column.
Text
attached to any symbol already on the schedule will not be affected by changes to the Default Text. That is,
changes to the Default Text only affect symbols that subsequently get added, not those already on the schedule.
For user-entered text, under Line, enter the text to
appear when this symbol is added to the schedule.
For a column's text to appear as the default text,
under Insert Text from Column below, select an
existing column from the drop-down list, then press
Insert.
Repeat by assigning user-entered text and/or
column-based text for up to three lines of symbol
text.
