Symbol Management

Many parts that you access with the PartQuest Portal application have a symbol associated with them. If a part does not have a symbol, or if the existing symbol does not match what you want, you can choose a different standard symbol, choose a symbol from a provider, or create your own custom symbol with the Symbol Creator.

You generally create or edit a symbol from a part description in either a list of search results or a page like Favorites or a project. See “Searching for Parts”, “Saving and Accessing Favorite Parts”, or “Saving Parts to a Project”.
