Symbols are the parts you place in a drawing: tanks, pumps, valves, meters, motors, breakers, machines and more, all drawn by one hand in the same style. The library has 769 symbols. Every organisation with the SCADA module has the core set (116 symbols). The other 653 come in 13 industry libraries that you buy one by one.
The core set
The core set is always open. It covers what most drawings need:

The same libraries in 3D
One library covers both 2D drawings and 3D designs of its industry: when you buy Factory, you can also place the factory items in the 3D designer. The 3D designer also has:
- Mobility: road and rail vehicles, railway track and people. It has no 2D twin and is bought on its own.
- The home library and the basic shapes, which are free in 3D.
See The 3D designer.
Get a library
Libraries are one-time purchases in the store, sold beside the IoT add-on:
| Product | Opens |
|---|---|
| One library, for example SCADA: Factory | That library, in 2D and 3D |
| SCADA: Industry suite | Process, Oil and gas, Heavy industry, Factory, Textile, Plastics |
| SCADA: All pieces | All 13 libraries |

Your installation’s licence can also close a library: “
Locked libraries
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| A library is locked | Its symbols show in the palette with a padlock, from a still picture. “Part of |
| A drawing already uses symbols of a locked library | They keep drawing. You can move, edit or delete them. You cannot add more. |
| A library lapses | Nothing goes blank. Placed symbols stay. |
| A save adds symbols of a locked library | Refused: “The diagram adds symbols of a library this workspace does not hold: |
| A rule draws a symbol of a locked library (Draw as) | A placeholder is drawn instead. |
Swapping a placed symbol for another symbol of a locked library counts as adding one. Moving or deleting never does. Symbols your organisation placed before libraries were sold separately stay open for you.
While the check runs, the palette says “Checking which symbol libraries are open here”. If it fails, every library symbol is locked and the core set stays open; it is checked again shortly.
Finding symbols
The palette’s search box (Search: pump, breaker, heat exchanger…) matches names and common other names in English and Turkish. Narrow by Family (for example Pumps and valves, Instruments (ISA), Single-line) and by Sector (for example Water, Food and drink, Logistics). Recent keeps the symbols you used last. Clear filters shows everything again.
A symbol that has not loaded yet shows a neutral placeholder in its box until it arrives.
