Re: [nv-l] override user symbol customization

[Gareth Holl <gholl@us.ibm.com>]

The NetView for Windows product does not have the same function from what I can see (somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

For the Windows version, a symbol type can only be changed if a user created the object. If the object was created by an application, the type cannot be changed, only the sub-type can be changed.

An engineer sent this response to a previous question that I had posted: 
From a native read-write GUI, go to "File -> Describe Map...." Select "IP Map", click "Configure For This Map ..." 
Scroll to the bottom and change "Should IP Map override user symbol customization?" to False.  
 
I am using NetView on Windows systems and could not find this setting in the menu options or via the help.  Does this same option exist for Windows platforms and If so, how can I set it?
 
 
Thank you very much,
