How to Control What Gets a Symbol

To designate which assemblies in a drawing get a symbol, you can edit the StartEnd_Names.txt file located in the macros/drawing directory. Below is what the default file looks like. Simply add the name of the assembly into this file before you run the macro. For example, if you have a beam in your model named RAFTER, you will want to add this name to this file exactly as you have it in the model.

Delete Start End Symbols

AVAILABLE IN: DRAWINGS

Notice in the drawing below that Black symbols were added to the start end of the beams (by the Create Start End Symbols macro). These symbols can easily be deleted from the drawing using this macro when they are no longer needed.
