Symbols and pictures in Template Editor

Symbols are objects created with Symbol Editor and used in Template Editor and your product. Pictures are raster files.

Both symbols and pictures are inserted with a reference to the original file. If you modify the symbols and pictures outside of Template Editor, the changes also affect the template that contains this symbol or picture, as the file contents are reloaded each time the template is opened.
