Load Symbol, via Symbol Type
P+ID > Symbol > Load symbol 
If you invoke the Load symbol function, the illustrated symbol selection window is displayed. Symbols are indicated in the list by • , "0"-symbols with O.
You can:
- select the symbol by its Name
- select a Gauge symbol
- select a Symbol type from the list
- select a variable symbol.
Pick the required option and select OK to exit the window.
Determine the position of the symbol by specifying the fitting point.
Before specifying the fitting point, you can select a transformation option for the symbol. Do do this, right-click to activate the context menu with the transformation functions.
Depending on the symbol type, the fittings may entail automatic actions.
Please note:
When a symbol is inserted in a connection, HiCAD checks to see if it determines a flow direction and if so whether the direction of fitting matches the flow direction (if given) of the connection. If it does not, the symbol is automatically rotated 180°.
