Drawing Symbol Regulations

You can use this tool to create areas in compliance with drawing symbol regulations. The Drawing symbol regulations catalog provided by Nemetschek cannot be modified; t is located in the ETC folder (default path).
If you want to change this catalog, you need to copy it to the office standard and assign it to the project.
You can make as many copies as you need; this way, you can create several catalogs tailored to meet the requirements of individual countries.
