> Edit symbol pop-up menu 
This function enables you to add your own symbols to pop-up menus selected from Load symbol selection list or modify them arbitrarily with the Editing functions (right-click on a button of the pop-up menu).
Add symbols to pop-up menu
Let us assume that you create a new dryer with the name T222, and Save it to symbol library and that you want to be able call the symbol from the Dryer pop-up menu when processing the P+ID, you need to take the following actions:
- Make sure that the symbol library containing the new symbol is integrated in the active project.
- Create a new P+ID sheet (this is required temporarily).
- Insert the symbol T222 with the help of its name on the new sheet:
If required, you can use 2-D functions to change the appearance of the symbol and create a more easy-to-understand icon, i.e. delete text, hide text or change the colour of lines.
- Next, call the Symbol pop-up menu function to show the symbol selection list.
- Click the required symbol category, in this case, Dryer, to show the appropriate pop-up menu.
- If we assume that you want to assign the symbol to the last button in the pop-up menu, simply click the button.
HiCAD then expects you to identify the appropriate symbol on the P+ID sheet. If an icon for the identified symbol is not available, displays an appropriate message.
- Respond to the query with Yes to assign the symbol.
If you have already inserted additional new symbols in the P+ID sheet, you can now assign them to free buttons. When you exit the pop-up menu with END, processing mode is automatically switched off.
If you do not want to assign any more symbols, you can now delete the temporary P+ID sheet.
