ID Tool 3

[dennisp]

I purchased Plant Art for Landmark. I imported them into the Resource palette. After selecting them into my design I chose Create Symbol, named it, and placed it into Plant Catalog. The file has been saved. Then I selected the Place Plant Tool, my symbol is in the Plant Catalog, I choose the symbol and now I am in the 'Set Default Plant Tool Options. When I hit edit a totally different symbol appears in the 'Edit Plant Catalog' screen, the original plant is not available. How do I get the original symbol into the Plant Catalog?

More info: I've imported symbols that I created in other programs, and purchased through VectorDepot. I can attach a Plant Record and the ID Tool will label them (although I cannot edit the label?). Although I can place them in the Plant Cat., and I can select them graphically when using the Place Plant Tool, I cannot edit them further.

IF I place them in the 2D syms folder and go to AEC - EDIT PLANT CAT I can select the symbol in the 2D Syms folder, define it, find the symbol location again(symbol is not showing in box). When I select the Place Plant Tool now the symbol I just edited is still selected and places in the design. Now I choose Show or Hide Tags from the View menu and my symbol has a Tag. Success! I think. If this works I'm on my way. Thanks for your help.

Spoke too soon. In order to use this symbol with the Place Plant Tool the symbol has to be placed in the Plant Catalog folder. Upon doing that VectorWorks places a locus point in my design when I select the symbol. ???????????
