SmartSymbols are objects that integrate object-oriented technology with InTouch graphics to transform them into reusable templates. Changes made to the templates automatically propagate throughout an application – even across multiple networked PC nodes. They are created from a graphic in an InTouch window that has been made into a cell and converted into a SmartSymbol. In addition, libraries of SmartSymbols can be exported to other applications and plants, enabling companies to standardize on graphics throughout the entire organization.
