Always great videos David! You mentioned in one of your videos on MBD template creation that you created a title block symbol. Do you have a video or procedure on how that is done?

Very helpful video! I'd like to place a non-custom symbol from the palette (flag note) in a text note. PTC support says to do this with syntax: &sym(symbol_name). I've tried a number of variations on that, but none of them work &sym(symbol_0), &sym(symbol0), &sym(0). I'm only able to make it work with my custom symbols, but not the symbols from the palette. Any thoughts on what I'm doing incorrectly?

I have a doubt... Can you please clear I have used custom symbol in drawing format/ template... And when I call the template in drawing, I can't alter the value in drawing.... Where as I can alter it in template.... In drawing it is showing the value which I have set in template.... Please help me in this regard.... If you want any further clarification please drop a message...

thanks for video but how can we placed the symmetry line and center mark in drawing without axis

Your tutorial lacks a solution on how to select in the attributes for the left and right leader point that does not lie on the geometry. I tried it using sketch points, but these cannot be selected in the attributes for the left or right leader. If there is a solution, please publish.

Please make video on creo drafting customization.

Good video... thanks!
I want the default size of my symbol to be smaller... I'm working in inches. Seems no matter what I do it comes in at .120, even though I set the height to "Variable - Text Related". I also set my text height to .08 but it seems to ignore that. I'm hoping there is a solution...
