Only option is Block,Macro,Group

I'm trying to create a new symbol but when I right-click and select block the only option is for 'Block,Macro,Group' why can't I see any other block component types like Component, Relay Coil, SmartBox etc.?

If you have intelligent items in your selection such as wires or other symbols then you will only be offered 'Block,Macro,Group' as the component type.
Re-check that what you are selecting is just graphics and text and doesn't include intelligent wire segments or existing blocks. Use the Ctrl+D page debugger to move your cursor over all items to check they are not wires or components already.
