Problem with creating symbol set

Robak · June 2016

Hello,
I try to create a Symbol Set for Shadowrun Security Symbols.
I use the CA14 Annual Mapping Guide.

When I look into the Symbol manager then everything looks fine.

But the Preview looks very ugly due to disturbing huge numbers.

And when I use the Katalog in a drawing I get this huge numbers also and have to delete each number.

What was my misstake by creating the symbol set?

With best regards

And the second screenshot:

And the Symbol catalog:

And the Symbol catalog source file:

???

It looks to me like everything is doing what it's supposed to do. Can you give us a better problem description?

Ok I will try to repeat the Problem description.

The Symbol Preview Picture -- visible in the second Screenshot of this thread -- shows minimum 5 times NOT the Symbol.
This is the case vor Transp_Lock 6, 7, 8, 9.
The Symbol Preview Picture shows a HUGE 1 and a tiny dot at the left bottom sied (which is the Symbol).

Also the placed Symbol is not only the Symbol but also a very very very HUGE '1' (ZOOM out!).

I have attached a placed Symbol (tiny) with a very very very huge bing '1'.

The huge '1' is never visible in the Symbol Manager (-> Scrennshot 1)

With best regards

Well, this huge number is definitely a part of your symbol, so the preview is correct. I am not sure why the symbol manager doesn't show them immediately, but it seems to update when I start manipulating the symbols, showing the same result as the symbol catalog window.
If you execute the list command on the symbol, you can see that it contains a huge text entity

2D Text: color 0 (black) layer 1 (STANDARD)
    line style 0 (Solid) fill style 1 (Solid)
    line width 0.00000 tag # 9934 pen 0.000 mm 2nd color 0
    Origin  -0.06000,0.12979
    Height  557.31085
    Angle   0.00000°
    Spacing 150.00000
    Stretch 1.00000
    Font:   Arial (#0)
    Justification: Bottom Left
    Style:  
    Text:   1

To get rid of this, you will need to just edit each of the problematic symbol in the catalog, and simply erase the text entity.
