Drawing

Create symbol sets

The Symbol Sprayer acts like a particle sprayer—letting you add a large number of identical objects to the artboard at

one time. For example, use the symbol sprayer to add hundreds of grass blades, wildflowers, bees, or snowflakes.

Modify symbol instances in a symbol set

You use the symbolism tools to modify multiple symbol instances in a set. For example, you can disperse instances

over a larger area using the Symbol Scruncher tool or gradually tinting the color of instances to make them look more

realistic.

Although you can use symbolism tools on individual symbol instances, they are most effective when used on symbol

sets. When working with individual symbol instances, most of these tasks are easily accomplished using the tools and

commands you use on regular objects.
