Symbols can be stored within a drawing or in library files. You can share symbols between drawings by copying and pasting. Copying symbols to the Clipboard leaves the originals in the drawing or library file.
You can also copy and paste instances of a symbol to and from the Clipboard. Pasting a symbol instance places the symbol in the active document and also places an instance of the symbol in the drawing. Subsequent pasting will place another instance of the symbol in the drawing without adding to the document. Symbol instances are copied, cut, and pasted in the same way other objects are. For more information, see Copying, duplicating, and deleting objects.
You can export symbols from a document and create a new library file, or you can create a symbol library from any drawing file. You can create a new library by exporting the symbol library from a document or by saving the symbols in a drawing as a new library. If you put the new file in a shared folder, other users will be able to use the symbols.
