Task details how to move 2D component of symbols and leave 3D component at it's current position.

The 3D Properties function allows for creating and editing the 3D component of symbols. In this example, the 3D representation of a switch symbol is replaced with a generic shape "box". This representation uses less memory and can improve speed when working with large drawings.
