Creo 8 introduces new contextual commands for symbol editing and placement. These have been added to the mini toolbar and shortcut menu of symbols. These commands enable greater productivity. They include a Repeat command, to duplicate an existing symbol, copy its customization attributes, and place it in a new location. There is also a Transform command, allowing you to quickly scale, rotate, and change the symbol origin of their placed symbols. Additionally, there's a new contextual Update Symbol command.
