This routine places icon mining symbols on the drawing. There are 23 symbols to choose from. Carlson initially has 17 commonly used symbols and 6 blank fields for user defined symbols. After selecting a symbol from the table, simply pick a point to place it. A row of that symbol can be placed by picking a destination point, and an interval point. In this case, multiple symbols are placed the specified interval apart along a line from the start to the destination point.
To create custom mine symbols, Zoom and window the screen to the desired size for the symbol. Then draw the symbol. Now start Icon Mining Symbols as usual and pick the User-Defined symbol on the second page of the table. It will ask you to window around your symbol, pick an insertion point, and pick a place to store the symbol in the symbol table. The next time Icon Mining Symbols is called, the new symbol should be in the table.
