How to use

If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  1. Register LogoMarkerSymbolVB.dll or LogoMarkerSymbolVC.dll.
  2. Open ArcMap, and add a layer with point features, or a marker graphic element.
  3. For a layer, right-click the layer in the ArcMap table of contents, choose Properties, and then in the Layer Properties dialog box, choose the Symbology tab. The Single Symbol renderer should be selected by default—click the Symbol button to show the Symbol Selector.
  4. For a marker element, right-click the element, and choose Properties. In the Properties dialog box, make sure the Symbol tab is selected, and click the Change Symbol button.
  5. In the Symbol Selector dialog box, click the Properties button to display the Symbol Editor.
  6. In the Symbol Editor dialog box, pull down the Type list box and choose Logo Marker Symbol.
  7. You can now set the properties of a LogoMarkerSymbol. Click OK to select the symbol and return to the Symbol Selector.
