Right-clicking a symbol tile shows a delete confirmation. Click "🗑 Delete" to confirm; just close it to keep the symbol.
Deleting an in-use symbol clears the symbol from every station it was assigned to. Reassign from the Stations Tab.
The memory card must stay inserted
Since 1.0.10 the line symbols you define here live on the memory card in the management computer's card slot, and stations only show a symbol while that card is inserted.
- Breaking the computer no longer loses the symbols — place a new one and insert the same card.
- Pulling the card out takes the symbols off the station monitors until it is put back.
- See Memory Card.
