The Industrial Icons refer to graphical elements for creating intuitive navigation into your applications. They are available to use in two approaches on the Displays/Draw:

You need to insert a component into the display to use this feature in your solution.

1. Go to Displays / Draw.
2. Add a component into the display — such as TTextBlock.
3. Click once on the component you just added to select it. 
4. On Drawing Properties / Text located at the right panel, click the font name to open the Font selection window.
5. Scroll down until the end of the list and select the last option (IndustrialIcons).
