    Custom symbols/tables problem

    Hi all, I'm creating some custom symbols but seem to be running into a problem. I can create the part, create the symbol, then pull it back for re-use. However, when I create a new part and go to find the symbol it isn't available. I'm obviously missing something, any help appreciated.
