Change a custom symbol
After you've created a custom symbol, you can change its background transparency or rename the custom symbol.
Change the background transparency of a custom symbol
Custom symbols have a transparent background by default. The top-left pixel of the custom symbol is used for the transparent background.
-
On the Standard toolbar, click the arrow next to Create pushpin
.
-
Right-click the custom symbol that has the background you want to change.
-
Do one of the following:
-
To give the symbol a solid background, click Transparency to clear the check mark.
-
To give the symbol a transparent background, click Transparency to add a check mark (if one isn't there already).
-
Note When you change the transparent background for a custom symbol, all pushpins with that symbol are changed.
Rename a custom symbol
By default, when you import a custom symbol, it is given the same name as its file name. This name is used for the tooltip.
-
On the Standard toolbar, click the arrow next to Create pushpin
.
-
Right-click the custom symbol that has the name you want to change.
-
Click Rename.
-
In the New name box, type a new name for the custom symbol.
