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.
You know what I have heard of for symbols, short of setting up a symbols =
library, is a symbol palette. It's a drawing that's identified somehow =
as a palette. Do this: Click 'Insert>Drawing Symbol>From Palette'. =
You'll notice that there's a button Add to Palette. If you're in your =
drawing template, you might be able to add them to the palette and make =
them accessible this way.
