Associating symbols with styles. Visualizing symbols

You can associate a symbol with a style while you are defining the style, or later, while editing a style. The symbol-to-style association is part of the style's visual properties. After you associate a symbol to a style, you can set EngView to display the symbol-enriched styles on the screen — see Step 5 below.
