# Set up how the symbol indicator looks (General tab)

Use the General tab of the Symbol Properties dialog box to set up how a symbol indicator looks.

## To set up general options for the symbol indicator

1. In the Graphics Display editor, double-click the object to open its Properties dialog box.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Specify the options.

Before you can select an image for the indicator, you must import the image into your project.

If the image is not a monochrome bitmap, or if the bitmap has been removed from the project, an X appears on the indicator.

Once you set up the options on the General tab, click the States tab to specify how the object looks in each state at run time.
