The map view centers on the item. If you assigned a name for the symbol under the

Draw tab, a MapTag displays the name at the symbol location.

If you did not assign a name for the symbol, a MapTag displays the Symbol Name at

the symbol location.

Notes

• If you do not assign a symbol name to a symbol in XSym, you can locate it with the

generic keyword of "symbol" or by the name or phrase given the symbol in the Draw

tab. For more information, see Finding a Symbol by its Name

• If you assigned a Symbol Name to a custom symbol in XSym and placed the symbol

on the map, the Symbol Name displays in the demographic information area when

you right-click the symbol and select Info.
