Sets of symbols
About symbol sets
A
symbol set
is a group of symbol instances that you create with the Symbol Sprayer tool. You can create mixed sets
of symbol instances by using the Symbol Sprayer tool with one symbol and then using it again with another symbol.
Artwork created with the symbolism tools
As you work with symbol sets, keep in mind that the symbolism tools affect only the symbol or symbols selected in
the Symbols palette. For example, if you create a mixed symbol instance set that represents a meadow with grass and
flowers, you can change the orientation of just the grass by selecting the grass symbol in the Symbols palette and then
using the Symbol Spinner tool. To change the size of both the grass and the flowers, select both symbols in the
Symbols palette and then use the Symbol Sizer tool.
Note:
When you select a mixed symbol set on the artboard, the symbol instance most recently added to the set is
automatically selected in the Symbols palette.
