Logical connection symbols. In addition to purely graphical connection symbols, you can also use connection symbols that represent functions in EPLAN. These connection symbols include connection splicers and line connectors or busbars. Properties such as device, symbol, function, and parts data can't be assigned to these. EPLAN Electric P8 offers unlimited possibilities for project planning, documentation, and management of automation projects. The automatic production of detailed reports based on wiring diagrams is an integral part of a comprehensive documentation system and provides subsequent phases of the project, such as production, assembly, commissioning and service with the data required.

Symbols are compiled, edited, and managed in symbol libraries. The project settings (inherited by symbols, e.g. line thickness of the symbol) for the current project are used in managing the symbol libraries.
Warning:
Some symbol libraries such as SPECIAL.slk are blocked and can't be edited by you. When you try to open such a symbol library, a message will appear and the action is canceled.
Symbol selection (Insert > Symbol) only displays those symbols from the stored symbol libraries and symbol libraries are identified by name (without the path) in projects.
Store symbol libraries (copy to the project)
Symbol libraries are added to the project as soon as they are entered into the project settings, or they are opened or generated in the project.
Precondition:
You have opened a project.
Symbol libraries are referenced as follows:
Note:
If you initiate a symbol library update in the Synchronization of master data <Project name> dialog (menu items Utilities > Master data > Synchronize current project), the individual symbols will be checked before the symbol library is replaced. If incompatible data is found the process is interrupted with a prompt.
File off symbol libraries (delete from the project)
Before deleting a symbol library from the settings, and therefore from the project, the library is checked for symbols that are still used in the project. It is possible to delete if the symbol library is not being used.
Precondition:
You have opened a project.

Precondition:
You have opened a project.
Note:
A project configuration (Options > Settings > Projects > 'Project name' > Management > Symbol libraries) can be used to assign an arbitrary number of symbol libraries to a project. The symbol libraries selected are then stored in the project.

Tip:
If you have opened a symbol library once and selected a symbol to be opened in the Symbol selection dialog, you can then 'page through' all of the symbols of that symbol library in the symbol editor. To do so, use the menu items Page > Next page and Page > Previous page or press the [Page down] and [Page up] buttons to scroll. Only those versions that were selected previously in the preview of the Symbol selection dialog will be shown. If the specified version of a symbol is not available, the symbol editor will show an empty page with the text 'Variant does not exist'.
