Symbol library file

SuperMap provides symbol libraries and symbols in the form of files called symbol library files. Symbol library files also store the logical management and organization of symbol libraries. Logically, one symbol library file stores one symbol library. The Symbol library corresponding to the symbol library file can be loaded into the Symbol Library Manager by loading the symbol library file. The symbol library in the symbol library file is further managed by the Symbol Library Manager, and the work results are saved by saving the symbol library file.

  • Marker Symbol Library files: Marker Symbol Library files have a.sym file extension and store Marker Symbol Library and dot symbols.
  • Line Symbol Library files: Line Symbol Library files have a.lsl file extension and store Line Symbol Library and linetype symbols.
  • Fill Symbol Library file: The fill symbol library file has a.bru file extension and stores the fill symbol library and the fill symbol.
