Symbol Factory 3.0 combines a powerful graphic library management tool with over 4,000 professionally built vector objects that can be used in your HMI application in a variety of file formats. Images may be distributed with custom applications royalty free and OEM licenses are available for bundling with off-the-shelf software. For an ActiveX version check out Symbol Factory ActiveX. For .NET see Symbol Factory.NET.

Symbol Factory Version 3.0 brings you over 4,000 manufacturing and industrial visualization objects in over 60 categories. Symbol Factory 2.0 is not just "clip-art" -- it is the defacto standard chosen by major HMI vendors for inclusion with their software because of the quality and attention to detail our professionals have given to the symbols and the software utility that comes with the library.

Professionally created vector graphics designed to achieve maximum quality and scalability while minimizing file size and impact on graphics display update speed.

Objects can integrate into your application in formats including metafiles, bitmaps, SVG, VML, or PNG.

Works with any application that can use a WMF, EMF, BMP, PNG, SVG, or VML file type

Runtime Free - Symbols used in custom applications can be used without paying royalties - see the Symbol Factory license agreement for full details or contact us - restrictions apply if you are making off-the-shelf software such as an HMI/MMI product.

Librarian application with easy-to-use features for resizing, changing color scheme and orientation of objects as well as building your own categories and bringing your own graphics into the library. Graphics may be imported from WMF (Windows Metafile) Vector format or BMP raster formats.

You can even setup the library on a network (multi-user license required) and have multiple developers pull from the library and contribute to the library - think of the standardization you can bring to your plant HMIs with this feature! Categories can be made read-only to help enforce your standards if needed.

Symbol Factory Version 2.0 includes over 800 new symbols as shown below including new categories for 3-D Pushbuttons, Boilers, Finishing, Food, Machining, Mining, and Pulp & Paper.
