Set the size to 0.7 inch and drag symbol # 41 onto the screen. Break apart (Ctrl+K) the symbol and fill with white. Notice that some of the lines have vanished because the front to back order is wrong. Go to Arrange - Order - and choose Reverse Order and group (Ctrl+G). Lineup at the each of the four edge light positions.
Now add the text. If you have Swiss 721 on your system choose it or a sans serif font that is similar. Set the point size to 12 point and type the word ON. From the Transform Roll-Up it7:F choose a horizontal scale of 86.6% and then a vertical skew of -30 degrees. Position the word over the appropriate spot and then duplicate (Ctrl+D), reposition, and edit the text for the remaining positions.
