Choose Place Symbol Instance from the Symbols panel menu.
note: A single symbol placed anywhere in your artwork (as opposed to existing only in the panel) is called an
instance.
Create a symbol
1 Select the artwork you want to use as a symbol.
2 Do one of the following:
Click the New Symbol button in the Symbols panel.
Drag the artwork to the Symbols panel.
Choose New Symbol from the panel menu.
Note: By default, the selected artwork becomes an instance of the new symbol. If you dont want the artwork to become
an instance, press Shift as you create the new symbol. In addition, if you don’t want the New Symbol dialog box to open
when you create a new symbol, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you create the symbol and Illustrator will
use a default name for the symbol, such as New Symbol 1.
3 In the Symbol Options dialog box, type a name for the symbol.
4 Select the symbol type as Movie Clip or Graphic. If you plan to export the symbols to Flash, do the following:
Select Movie Clip for type. Movie Clip is the default symbol type in Flash and in Illustrator.
Specify a location on the Registration grid where you want to set the symbol’s anchor point. The location of the
anchor point affects the position of the symbol within the screen coordinates.
Select Enable Guides For 9-Slice Scaling if you want to utilize 9-Slice scaling in Flash.
5 Select the Align to Pixel Grid option to apply the pixel-align property to the symbol. For more information, see
Aligning symbols to pixel grid.
You can create symbols from most Illustrator objects, including paths, compound paths, text objects, raster images,
mesh objects, and groups of objects. However, you cannot create a symbol from linked art or some groups, such as
groups of graphs.
Note: For a video on using symbols effectively between Illustrator and Flash, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0198.
Add sublayers for symbols
Symbols now have an independent layer hierarchy, which is maintained when you expand symbols. You can create
sublayers for symbols in symbol editing mode.
Paste Remember Layers option is honored when you paste content in symbol editing mode.
