In the Format Symbol mode of the Symbology pane, on the Properties tab, on the Layers tab, expand the Appearance group. This image is derived from either an existing point symbol or an image file. Picture marker symbol layers use an image file to define the marker instead of a vector shape. Click Return to previous symbology page to return to the Format Symbol pane.To save the custom embedded symbol for reuse, click the menu button in the upper right corner and click Save embedded symbol to style.In the Format Embedded Symbol subpane, modify the symbol as necessary.
Click Format point symbol, Format line symbol, Format polygon symbol, or Format text symbol in the gallery menu, whichever is shown.Depending on the graphic geometry of the current element, this gallery is named Shape point symbol, Shape line symbol, Shape polygon symbol, or Shape text symbol. Open the symbol gallery for the element.Choose the element from the Element gallery.To access additional symbol properties of the element, follow these steps: You can modify some basic properties of the element directly below the Element gallery. When a marker layer contains symbol elements, you can edit the symbol properties of each element. You can navigate above and behind it when it is in this state. Check the Stand vertically check box to stand the symbol upright, as if it is locked in place. In a 3D context, you can specify a Depth for shape marker layers to give them a sense of thickness. When symbols are converted from old projects or styles, this property is set to match their previous appearance. The default setting for newly created shape symbol markers is to respect the frame. The frame is generally larger than the visible part of the symbol graphic. When sizing shape marker symbol layers, you can use Respect frame to ensure uniform sizing of related symbol layers. Only the basic properties of the polygon symbol- Color, Outline color, and Outline width-can be modified. Choose a symbol from this gallery or click More polygon symbols in the gallery to choose one from available styles. Regardless of how the marker shape geometry is derived, the shape itself is drawn using a polygon symbol, as defined by the Shape fill symbol pull-down gallery. See Scalable vector graphics support to learn more. Then, reapply a transparent color to the element after import. For them to remain as vector elements, make the transparent elements fully opaque in the SVG file (using an external drawing application) before import. Transparent graphics in SVG files are converted to images when you import. SVG files with simple paths, shapes, text, inline paint attributes, clipping paths, and images are supported. svg), only a subset of the SVG functionality is supported. When marker geometry is imported from a scalable vector graphics file (.
