Symbol Edit mode is a freeform editing mode so you can make any graphical changes that you want to your UDP symbols, including the inclusion of images by use of the Insert Picture tool.

The layer structure employed in symbols is critical in ensuring that symbols display and operate properly in the drawing types that they are designed for. See Help for each drawing Module to understand how layers are used in that Module.

Symbol Edit mode supports Views in the appropriate drawing tabs, for example in the Rack Layout tab you can use Front View, Side View and Rear View buttons to assist in making edits within these views.  Again, make sure that you are using the correct layers to display objects in the appropriate View.

To Exit Symbol Edit mode click on the X button at the top right of the drawing window.  Be sure to save changes made to your UDP symbols when exiting Symbol Edit Mode.
