Drawing

Edit or redefine a symbol

You can edit a symbol by changing the symbol’s artwork or you can redefine the symbol by replacing it with new

artwork. Editing and redefining a symbol changes the appearance of the symbol in the Symbols panel, as well as all

instances of the symbol on the artboard.

Edit a symbol

1 Do one of the following to open the symbol in isolation mode:

• Select an instance of the symbol and click Edit Symbol in the Control panel. When the Alert box opens, click OK.

• Double-click an instance of the symbol. When the Alert box opens, click OK.

• Double-click a symbol in the Symbols panel. A temporary instance of the symbol appears in the center of the

artboard.

2 Edit the artwork.

3 Exit isolation mode by clicking the Exit Isolated Group button at the upper-left corner of the artboard or in the

Control panel .

Redefine a symbol with different artwork

1 Select the artwork that you want to use to redefine an existing symbol. Make sure to select original artwork and not

a symbol instance.

2 In the Symbols panel, click the symbol you want to redefine, and choose Redefine Symbol from the panel menu.

Note: The selected artwork automatically becomes an instance of the symbol. If you don’t want the selected artwork to

become a symbol instance, press Shift as you choose Redefine Symbol from the panel menu.

Symbol libraries

Symbol libraries are collections of preset symbols. When you open a symbol library, it appears in a new panel (not the

Symbols panel).

You select, sort, and view items in a symbol library the same as you do in the Symbols panel. However, you can’t add

items to, delete items from, or edit the items in symbol libraries.

Open symbol libraries

❖ Do one of the following:

• Choose Window > Symbol Libraries > [symbol].

• Choose Open Symbol Library in the Symbols panel menu, and choose a library from the list that appears.

• Click the Symbols Library Menu button on the Symbols panel, and choose a library from the list that appears.

To automatically open a library when you start Illustrator, choose Persistent from the library’s panel menu.

Move symbols from a library into the Symbols panel

A symbol is automatically added to the Symbols panel whenever you use it in a document.

❖ Click a symbol in a library.

Create symbol libraries

1 Add the symbols you want in the library to the Symbols panel, and delete any symbols you don’t want.
