Quick Summary of Symbol Factory Versions

What is the difference between all of the Symbol Factory Versions?

Current Products: 

Symbol Factory Universal (3.x)

This successor to Symbol Factory 2.0/2.5 contains all the graphics from those versions and over 1000 new enhanced quality graphics in a management application that is significantly more advanced than the older versions in functionality to edit symbols, create your own categories for reuse and more.  At first the product was known as Symbol Factory 3.x but was rebranded as Symbol Factory Universal due to the fact that it's ability to export symbols in a variety of vector and raster formats enables it to be used with any application. 
 
 

End of Life Products

End of Life versions are legacy products that are no longer actively developed, maintained, or recommended for new systems. 

Symbol Factory Classic/2.0/2.5 

Was the version of Symbol Factory prior to V3.0/Universal and all graphics from these versions are included in the current product so there is no reason to offer this solution any longer. 
 

Symbol Factory.NET

This product was not a standalone application. It is a .NET component that uses the Symbol Factory 2.0 library and enabled users to implement the graphics directly into Visual Studio.NET software applications.
 

Symbol Factory ActiveX

This product was not a standalone application either. It is a ActiveX Control that uses the Factory 2.0 library. It worked with VB.NET, Visual Basic, Visual C++ but ActiveX is no longer a valid technology.
 

Symbol Factory ArchestrA

This version was meant specifically for use with Wonderware InTouch 10 and System Platform 3. These graphics were added directly to the ArchestrA Symbol Editor at the time..
