Edit > Alternative Symbols
This tool enables you to change the symbols that are being used to represent particular components within the active marquee (via the Marquee tool) to an alternative.
If a stripper area/region lies only partially inside the active marquee, then all the components in the stripper area/region, even if they lie outside the active marquee, are considered.
This tool is particularly useful when you wish to use components of the same type and size, but with different heights, in different parts of the stripper design.
Edit bar controls

How to use the tool
Having selected a marquee using the Marquee tool, activate this tool and select the alternative symbol name from the Symbol Mode dropdown. Press the Accept button to change all the components within the marquee to use this alternative symbol name.
