Boardmaker Version 5
Copying a new symbol from a button
1. Create a new symbol/button on your Boardmaker page.
This is done by combining parts of other symbols, or copying
digital pictures onto a button.
2. Select all of the graphics on the button (hold the shift key to
select multiple graphics (do not select the label/name).
3. Select “Copy” from the “Edit” menu at the top
4. Open the Symbol Finder Tool.
5. Select “Paste” from the “Edit” menu at the top
of the Boardmaker window (same place you
found “copy”). A window will pop up that allows
you to Add A Name (2 Slice Special). Type the
name in the text box under the “Add a name”
button.
6. Assign it to a category (or more than one).
When you assign a category, you can choose
“Show my own categories” and place it there.
You can rename these customized categories by
checking the “unlock category names”.
7. Now that symbol, with that name will always be there!
