The Industrial Icons industrial icon font family approach converts alphanumeric characters into icons , it requires the using a character-to-icon conversion table.
You need to insert a component into the display to use this feature in your solution. Usually, we use a text output object (TTextBlock) to insert the character to convert to the selected industrial icon. After that, we changed the font family to Industrial Icons located at the end of the list. You do this by pressing the Font button in the Text configuration in the Drawing Properties panel to open the font settings popup.
This behind-the-scenes association is not required, as you can drag and drop the images directly. However, it can be useful for advanced scenarios where you want to use the #IndustrialIcons font directly on text elements.
