circuitmaker 2000 library editing

Hi All
In circuitmaker once you have created a new macro for a circuit symbol
and given it a major class name etc and it stored in the library how
can the major class names or the stored symbol name be
edited/renamed/deleted in the library??
Regards
Dave

A worked example might be the best way to describe this:

I have a symbol I made called ThickArrow, filed under User
Defined>Symbols. I want to change that.

1. Place it in a new schematic
2. R-click it and choose Expand Macro
3. D-click it to get the Edit Macro window
4. Change name to ArrowThick
5. Macros>Save Macro
6. Change minor and/or major class when invited (instructed!) to.
7. Use Macros>Macro Utilities to do general moving, deleting, etc.

See also the Help, particularly the sections I've arrowed:

Thanks Terry, the more i play with circuitmaker the more i like it. The
way you can get cricuits and pcbs with a very short learning curve.
Real handy that it converts autotrax lib's that ive built up over the
years.
