Even with the hundreds of products added to Stardraw's libraries every month there are likely to be times when users wish to create their own symbol. The Symbol Wizard can be used within the Block Schematic environment of Stardraw Audio, Stardraw AV and Stardraw Radio to create a high-quality symbol in seconds. The new symbol can be based on one of hundreds of pre-drawn templates which are grouped by product types such as Amplifiers, Loudspeakers, Players/Recorders etc. Alternatively, the user can start from scratch with a blank template. The Wizard's dialogues allow set up of the product details (for instance manufacturer name, model number and product description) and likewise set inputs and outputs. Furthermore, the newly created symbol will support Rubber-Banding, so any Doglegs used to connect your symbol to others in your Block Schematic will stay attached as you move it around the drawing.
Marketing director Rob Robinson views this as a significant enhancement. "At Stardraw we work hard to give our customers the tools they need to do their job, the way they want to do it. This wizard allows you to create symbols that match Stardraw¹s own qualitative standard in seconds. It's an exciting productivity enhancement, and adds yet another level of flexibility to Stardraw's already comprehensive toolset."
