Introduction

This block is used to show the symbol on shop drawings. 

The standard name of the block is SymbolReference, this name can not be changed.

How the block works

The symbol is added to the shop drawing and the label is shown. The next thing is to add view 10 (Symbol view) to see the symbol in the shop drawing.
