The Object Tool menu bar contains a number of commands, many of which are also available in the toolbar. Most commands are familiar from the Graph Tool and therefore we will only look at the commands that are specific for the Object Tool here.

Tools | Symbol Editor opens a Symbol Editor where the graphical symbol for the object type can be drawn. Symbols can only be edited for types that already exist, thus this button is not available until the type has been saved. Similarly, Tools | Icon Editor opens an Icon Editor for editing the icons representing the type and its instances. See Chapter 3 for details of using the Symbol and Icon Editor.
