Symbol Libraries
This glossary is an assembly of pages with brief information about the standard symbols that are
included with SmartPlant applications.
Each page contains information about a different type or class or subclass of symbols. Each
page contains the symbol icons and the file name as well as other information that best suits the
particular symbol library at hand. For instance, the label libraries contain information about the
labeled item type and the label placement method, but the mechanical equipment library only
contains information about the name of the symbol and the type of equipment.
The libraries are organized in the Table of Contents according to these broad classifications. If
you are searching for a particular symbol, you can always use the Search tab of the Help
viewer.
