Simple Symbols, basics
The "Simple Symbols" functionality is used to simply assign corresponding symbols to data point types and increase the working comfort when working with different symbols. The Simple Symbols allow it, compared to the existing STD_Symbols, to build flexible Elements that are completely configured and able to use with just adding one necessary $-Parameter. In comparison, for the existing standard symbols all elements had to be assigned to the object when designing a user interface. Also the data points had to be adapted to the Symbols.
