Dialog Settings: Symbol assignment (Changing Standards)

In this dialog, you can create and manage assignment schemes for assigning symbols from the source symbol library to symbols from the target symbol library. In assignment schemes, you use variants to specify whether the symbol should be rotated or flipped. Ready-to-use assignment schemes are available in the default directory for schemes and can be imported from there.
