Change the display of symbols in the panel
1 Select a view option from the panel menu: Thumbnail View to display thumbnails, Small List View to display a list
of named symbols with a small thumbnail, or Large List View to display a list of named symbols along with a large
thumbnail.
2 Drag the symbol to a different position. When a black line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button.
3 Select Sort By Name from the panel menu to list the symbols in alphabetical order.
Duplicate a symbol in the panel
Duplicating or copying a symbol in the Symbols panel is an easy way to create a new symbol using an existing symbol
instance.
To create a copy of a symbol, select the symbol in the Symbols panel and choose Duplicate Symbol from the panel menu,
or drag the symbol onto the New Symbol button.
Note: If you want to duplicate a symbol instance on the artboard, for example, if you have scaled and rotated a symbol and
want to add another instance with the same scale and rotation, duplicate the instance. (See
Work with symbol instances.)
Rename a symbol
1 To rename the symbol, select the symbol in the Symbols panel, choose Symbol Options from the panel menu, and
then type a new name in the Symbol Options dialog box.
2 To rename a symbol instance, select a symbol instance in the artwork, and then type a new name in the Instance
Name text box in the Control panel.
Symbol registration point
The symbol registration point in Illustrator is similar to Adobe Flash Professional. A registration point is the origin of
the symbol definition art. This feature provides better interoperability between Illustrator and Flash.
When you create a symbol, you can choose the registration point from any of the 8-point across boundaries or center
of the symbol bounding box. The registration point is visible as a crosshair symbol in Symbol edit mode and in normal
mode when the symbol instance is selected. In isolation mode, you can snap your artwork with registration point mark.
In the Transform panel menu (flyout menu), the Use Registration Point for Symbol option is selected by default.
Coordinates of the registration point are visible in the Transform panel when symbol instance is selected. All
transformations of symbol instances correspond to the registration point of the symbol definition art.
The transformations applied on the symbol instance can be reset using the Reset Transformation option. For details see
Reset transformations.
Place or create a symbol
Place a symbol
1 Select a symbol in the Symbols panel or a symbol library.
2 Do one of the following:
• Click the Place Symbol Instance button in the Symbols panel to place the instance in the center of the current
viewable area of the document window.
• Drag the symbol to the artboard where you want it to appear.
