Control Points or Insertion Point?
I modified a Symbol, by making it longer... now the insertion point is not at the left hand edge as it was previously. I have redone the Control Points, I played with the Origin (View > Move Origin) and still when i use the symbol its insertion point is still in the same place. How do I modify this?

Also note that you need to edit the actual symbol catalogue and save it to make this change, otherwise it will only work in the map you did the changes in.
1) Open FSC Symbol Drawing
2) Open Symbols > Symbol Manager
3) Select Specific Symbol, Select <EDIT>
4) "Draw" Editing Window
5) Open View > Move Origin
6) Place new origin at new selected point
7) <CLICK> on X of Editing WIndow
8) Select <YES> on Changes Window (so this Keeps the Changes)
9) Pick File > Save
10) Open Testing Map
11) Click <YES> on SAVE CHANGES TO window (so this saves the file again?)
12) Load Symbol Catalog
13) Select Symbol that had Origin Point "Reset" - The Symbol Still has the old Origin point.
What did I do wrong?
If you have as much as clicked on the symbol in the catalog with the test map open, then saved it, it will have such a reference. If so, you need to delete it. With your testing map open, enter the symbol manager, find the symbol there, select it, and hit delete. Then just do a purge for good measure, and try your new edited symbol again.
Excellent....Thanks for the help....I wish this had been in the help or the Tome of Design....If it is can you please point me to the page?
