Difference between Symbols and Parts in Capture

chads108

 I am setting up a "site" capture.ini file and I noticed that there are entries for [Part Selector Configured Libraries] and [Symbol Selector Configured Libraries].  What is the difference between the two, because the entry paths don't typically seem to match.

    Parts, more strictly Parts and Packages, represent physical entities, resistors, capacitors, ICs and so on; the Symbols convey information, or connectivity through the design, Title Blocks, Off-Page Connectors, Hierarchical Ports, Power Symbols. See the Capture Users Guide, cap_ug.pdf, in the doc\cap_ug directory of the product installation.

    Thank you.  That was my thought, but I wanted to make sure before I got the EE's hunting me down.
