Manage standard text symbols
If you have a large number of standard text symbols, you can create symbol libraries and folders in My Teamcenter. This enables you to organize your data and facilitates using symbols.
Procedure
- In My Teamcenter, select an object to be the parent of the new symbol library or folder and choose File→New→Other.
The New Business Object dialog box appears.
- Select Work Instructions Symbol Library or Work Instructions Symbol Folder and click Next.
Alternatively, type symbol in the search box. The New Business Object dialog box filters the objects and displays only symbol types.
The Object Create Information dialog box appears.
- Type a name in the Name box, enter other optional attributes, and click Finish.
Teamcenter displays the new symbol library or folder under the selected object in My Teamcenter.
