Digital symbol editor

This guide explains the end-to-end use of the Digital Symbol Editor.

What this workflow is for

Use the Digital Symbol Editor when you want to propose a new engineering symbol that can be reviewed, published, and reused in a richer digital context than a simple image file allows.

What makes this workflow special

This workflow combines two things:

  • symbol geometry preparation
  • platform submission and review

That means there are usually two parts to the work:

  1. prepare a compliant geometry-only SVG
  2. upload it together with the metadata and interaction information the platform needs
  1. Read Digital Symbol Editor Figma Workflow
  2. Continue to Digital Symbol Editor Submission Workflow
  3. Finish with Digital Symbol Editor Best Practices
