Summary
The Symbol Wizard dialog is used to create component symbols. The dialog features automatic symbol graphic generation, grid pin tables and smart data paste capabilities.
Access
The Symbol Wizard dialog is accessed by selecting Tools » Symbol Wizard from the main menus in a Schematic Library document.

If at any time you want to uninstall the extension, find the extension on the Installed tab of the Extensions & Updates page then click 
to uninstall. Altium Designer must be restarted to complete the uninstall process.
