Magnacad, LLC has created its own Icons for the Magna-MODELS to hopefully provide productive clues as to what they are and what they do in a simple and clear manner. This section provides definitions for various imagery and symbols used on the icons. 


There are various "symbols" that are placed under the icons as well. These symbols provide the user more feedback as to what the components behavior will do or what task it will do. Below will outline the icons symbolism and what is stands for.
