Function Description
SuperMap provides symbol library files for storing symbol libraries and their contained symbols with grouping directories. Each symbol library file preserves one complete symbol library. Users can import/export symbol library files through selectors to achieve symbol library sharing.
SuperMap installation package includes five predefined symbol libraries: Basic Symbols, Auto Cartographic Symbols, Symbols for the Third National Land Survey, 3D Symbols, and Workspace Symbols, which facilitate fill symbol management and editing.
Fill symbol library files use .bru as file extension to store fill symbol libraries and fill symbols.
Importing fill symbol library files allows external .bru files to be loaded into the Fill Symbol Selector for better symbol management and utilization.
