Hi Shu,
You can add your customised symbol in MapInfo by following some of this parameters.
Create a symbol in MS Paint and save it as a 16 colour bit map in the custsymb
folder.( Path = MapInfo - Professional - Custsymb ).
Now your custom symbol will be listed along with other symbols in the same folder.
Excite MapInfo - Create a new layer - edit it - select the symbol style - select the
custom symbol font - click on the reload option and your symbol will get added to the
symbol list.
Make sure that the symbol you are creating is a smaller one like the sample custom
symbols. You can increase the size after it gets loaded in MapInfo Symbol list.
For your testing I am attaching a symbol prepared in MS Paint. You can add this to the
Custsymb folder and test it out.
Thanks and Regards

Subject: MI Make Custom Symbol
Hi all,
I am trying to make some custom symbols. I follow the MI instructions
exactly. But I was unable to load the symbol. I click reload, but still,
nothing happen. On the symbol style dialog, there are only 6 symbols shown
under custom symbol. However, there are more than 50 bmp file on the
\custsymb directory. Does it mean that custsymb is not the dir that MI
uses??? Also, I found the following MI help content:
...the Custom Symbols category lists those bitmaps you have created and
placed in the directory as specified by
Option>Preferences>Directories>Custom Symbols.
However, there is no custom symbols under the initial directories. I am
getting more and more confused now.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated!
ShuHua
