ACE makes that task so simple by using an industry standard database format. You have two options. Click Lookup while in edit mode over any symbol. Click the Add button and start entering your new parts information in the fields provided. If you have a copy of Microsoft Access installed, you can open the default_cat.mdb database and add the data into the fields in "spreadsheet view" by opening the the appropriate table for the device (i.e. CR=control relays, LT=lights, SS=selector switch, etc.).
