Dynamic Symbol List

To display the Symbol List, click in the Main Toolbar.

Every time you enter a symbol in an Aspen Graphics window, the symbol also goes into the symbol list.

While the Symbol List is displayed in alphabetical order, the list is actually kept in a most-recently-used order. When you use a symbol, it moves to the top of the list. When the list reaches one hundred symbols in length, any new symbol you enter causes the least-used symbol to fall off the list.

There are two ways to get a symbol from the list into an Aspen Graphics window: double-click, or drag-and-drop. Double-clicking a symbol cause the symbol to be entered into the active window. To drag-and-drop, simply grab the symbol you want and drop it into a target.

If a target will not accept a symbol, the drag cursor changes to .

Note also that the location of the Symbol List remembers where you last put it.
