Creating Multiple Symbols

Community Beginner ,
Jul 03, 2019 Jul 03, 2019

I'm working on a file that has a large number of icons on it but would like to convert those icons into symbols to create a symbol library. However, when selecting multiple icons to create new symbols, it just creates one grouped symbol.

Is there a way to select multiple objects and have them convert into individual symbols?

You can add selection of multilpe objects to the graphics tab in the 3d Panel  and they will all be individual symbols in the Symbols Panel.
