    The symbol uses pre-defined layers. Just create the shapes and pins using the symbol editor.

    I want to know what are those pre-defined layers, because I am creating it using code, so need to add them in layers section.

    If you ok using SKILL then it's probably easier for you to open an existing symbol and interogate the objects.

    i.e. Select the shape then css()~>??
