list of symbols used
is there a way to view a list of the symbols used on a map and possibly swap all the instances of a certain symbol for a different one.
I wasn't sure if there was a front end command for this or possibly a workaround if it doesn't exist. I am trying to upgrade some older maps to use them again but they all contain older less attractive symbols.

Click the left button above the catalog window (just below "Options") to see the list of symbols and quickly re-use them in the map.
To swap out symbols, first add the new symbol(s) to your map. YOu don't need to actually place them, just click on them in the catalog window, as that will add their definition to the current drawing.
Then go to Symbols > Symbol Manager in the menu, select the symbol you want to swap and click "Replace". Choose the new symbol from the list that appears, then click Ok. All instances of the symbol will be replaced.
