The Variables panel uses the following icons to indicate a variable’s type:

• Visibility variable .

• Text Str ing variable .

• Linked File variable .

• Graph Data variable .

• No Type (unbound) variable .

You can sort the rows by clicking items in the header bar: by variable name, object name, or by variable type.

Create variables

You can create four types of variables in Illustrator: Graph Data, Linked File, Text String, and Visibility. A variable’s type

indicates which object attributes are changeable (dynamic).

Note: The Variable panel menu also provides commands for creating variables.

Create a Visibility variable

Select the objects that you want to show or hide and click the Make Visibility Dynamic button in the Variables

panel.

Create a Text String variable

Select a type object and click the Make Object Dynamic button in the Variables panel.

Create a Linked File variable

Select a linked file and click the Make Object Dynamic button in the Variables panel.

Create a Graph Data variable

Select a graph object and click the Make Object Dynamic button in the Variables panel.

Create a variable without binding it to an object

Click the New Variable button in the Variables panel. To subsequently bind an object to the variable, select the

object and the variable, and click the Make Visibility Dynamic button or the Make Object Dynamic button.

Edit variables

You can edit a variable’s name or type, unbind a variable, and lock a variable using the Variables panel.

Unbinding a variable breaks the link between the variable and its object. Locking variables prevents you from creating

variables, deleting variables, and editing variable options. However, you can bind and unbind objects to locked

variables.

Change the name and type of a variable

Double-click the variable in the Variables panel. Alternatively, select the variable in the Variables panel, and choose

Variable Options from the Variables panel menu.
