The symbols libraries can be imported using either Designer, or DRAW, however, you can also use the Use Default Symbols option in the Metasys Graphic Binding Editor to automatically import default symbols for system objects and network devices. You can create the drawings from scratch, or you can use example symbols provided in five different symbols library files included in your Metasys software. However, if you are purchasing a drawing package, we recommend Micrografx DRAW, since DRAW and Designer share common libraries and file formats. IMPORTANT: If you are currently using Designer 3.1 or Designer 3.1 with OLE, we recommend you continue to use your current package.
