The Adobe Illustrator Symbol Scruncher Tool allows you to tighten up the symbols within the group, if you hold down th 'ALT' key on your keyboard this will have the opposite reaction it will essentially loosen the group and push the instances further apart. The first tool is the Symbol Shifter, this enables you to click and drag your Adobe Illustrator symbol instances around in the group to position them more accurately. To access the other Adobe Illustrator Symbol sprayer options just left click and hold down on the symbol sprayer tool in the tool bar and you will see a number of options for editing this group. We have now created an Adobe Illustrator Symbol Sprayer group that can only be edited with the symbol sprayer tools.
A separate panel appears with retro symbols included in it.To edit the original symbol artwork just double click on the symbol in the panel and the original Illustrator artwork will open and you can edit it, then when you press escape you will return to your symbol sprayer group and all of the symbol instances will have updated. There are only a few symbols included in the Symbols panel by default, but many more that you can access in the library.Ģ Click on the panel menu in the upper-right of the Symbols panel and select Open Symbol Library > Retro. In this lesson you use an existing symbol to add the retro bus to the illustration.ġ Choose Window > Symbols, the Symbols panel appears. Symbols can also be used to store frequently used artwork, such as logos, or clip art. If you edit the symbol, all instances are updated. Every time you use the snowflake, it is referred to as an instance. For example, you can create a snowflake and use it over 100 times in the illustration. Symbols offers you the ability to create artwork that can be used dynamically throughout your illustration.
