[?]: EPLAN P8 - creating a new symbol unsuccessful

[cool_runnin]

guys,


anybody has experience with creating in EPL P8 2.0 a new symbol:
- from a definite scratch
- based on another symbol (for example I need current transducer with 2 PINs but in IEC_symbol dbase there are only with 4 PINS....so I took it opened for edition deleted two pins and tried to save as a new one...)


Then when I try to insert this symbol on one of my pages in some project I get in the editable window (the same used for creation) and not in normal view...:




when I try to update symbol library I get the error as below:




please help.

Hi,
I think that the better idea is first to copy symbol which You want to change (Utilities -> Master Data -> Symbol -> Copy). Then such copied symbol adapt to Your need (delete pins and adapt Function definition - now transducer with two pins). You probably made changes to original symbol (transducer with 4 pins) and because of that eplan can not synchronize library (if You have this symbol instances in project).

I must have destroyed or deleted something.... now when I try to open Master data and open any symbol library to copy it I get the dollowing error:

I cannot copy symbol without opening a library first.

I don't understand this... I just replace edited data with the original (OLDER) from EPLAN and now it is even worse than before

Hi,
Maybe You should reinstall eplan or if You have some backup of Your symbol library.
