If you're actually asking about creating a reusable symbol library, that
be=
a whole other kettle of fish. Is that what you're trying to accomplish, a

No I don't want a library. I already made a template_drawing before I
decided I wanted the symbols. I was just tring to find out if I could
move one of them to my new template_drawing. If not I guess I can
start over with my drawing_template.
