Symbol type conversion

[Greg_at_ils]

I recently imported a dwg file containing Autocad blocks that I want to use as standard VW black symbols. The blocks imported as blue symbols and I can't find an easy way to either convert them to black symbols or import them as black symbols.

Any ideas?

I believe blue symbol means "convert to group on insertion". If I'm right then insert a blue one, ungroup it if you like, and then create a symbol from the components, or the group.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I am forced to do now but I would love to find an easer way to do this since there are so many symbols I need to import.

Greg, this script will do it:

{-----Begin script-----}

PROCEDURE BlackenSymbols;

FUNCTION HandleSym(H:HANDLE):BOOLEAN;

BEGIN

setobjectvariableboolean(h,127,FALSE);

handlesym := FALSE;

END;

BEGIN

ForEachObjectinList(handlesym,0,1,fsymdef);

END;

RUN(BlackenSymbols);

{----- End Script -----}
