Creating standard text symbols

By default, all standard text and work instructions have a symbol section at the top of the body text (just below the header). Teamcenter adds symbols to the symbol section (and nowhere else). However, Teamcenter only adds symbols of the Work Instructions Symbol type.

Librarians can create symbols for use in standard text and work instructions by adding a graphic file to a symbol dataset in My Teamcenter. You can manage the symbols by creating symbol libraries and folders and nesting the symbols.
