Hi, I need to add new symbols to the symbol library. I had imported them through a load procedure from the DWG and block definitions but the imported symbols look like garbage. So, I thought I'll just go into the symbol library and change the symbol in there which I found out I can't do because MGE stores the symbols as some lame XML format (ridiculous) and lumps the symbols all together. That means you can only delete the symbols or add new ones since there is no symbol editors (ultra ridiculous). On top of that I found out if I use the free Open source version of studio you can at least edit the xml, but that's alot of work and doesn't work very good at all.
So, I just deleted the symbol from the symbol library, then imported a new symbol as a png file. After I did that the symbol looked good but I didn't like the color and was going to override that in the styles of the point layer, to my surprise (or expectation as it has come to be with things not working correctly in MGE) the colors don't get overwritten. The symbol is uneffected from the color styles applied as the layer point style. How do other people handle symbol libraries and edit them?
