Plug-in symbols
Symbols are a great way of creating in Illustrator. It is a store for nearly all types of path and path combinations as well as images and more. Useful for creating multiple instances with little overhead. Symbols can be modified at any point in the creative process. Symbols can be used in other area of Illustrator
Symbols are all accessed via the symbols palette, load libraries of symbols and select via the symbols palette
Symbols can be
- 3D designs
- Brushes
- Clipping masks
- Combinations
- Gradients
- Gradient meshes
- Images
- Multiple paths
- Paragraph of text
- Paths
- Patterns
- Text
- Text on a path
- and any combo
It is very easy to create your own symbols for use with the plug-in i.e. simply select some text or an image and drag into the symbols palette. If you wish to fill the document with letters, remove all the current symbols and drag text, ordered or random text into the symbols palette and apply the plug-in
Illustrations using symbols
Create dramatic illustrations in seconds
Replace symbols at any point in the creative process
The symbols can also be replaced at any point with another symbol by using the replace symbol command (also the symbols can be replaced by scripting.. creating multiple variant copies of the same Illustrator document, possibly for varying web designs in different countries or for similar web styled diagrams using different text or swf files.
The symbols can be expanded to basic paths. So apply the plugin to create a frame of blocks or letters and then expand the symbols using the expand symbol command and then color the paths or apply transparency and more
Animation and symbols
Use the symbol tools to create great animation effects across layers.
New plugin tools for symbols tool
The latest version includes new plugins 'starburst' 'circle' 'diagonal' 'single shot' and 'cross' (the plugins are different from the previously released plugins in that they are single shot/instant click plugins and offer a range of features accessible via control keys.
Tool options for symbol tools
Each tool comes with a huge selection of options. To display the options for each plugin icon, press enter or double click the plugin icon, this will display a dialog with the options for this particular plugin
Export symbols
Also the tool is great for exporting to other applications or saving in SWF flash format. The symbols exported are re-used so if you have a frame of repeat symbols, the symbol location information and the symbol itself is saved, so having 1000 symbols as a dynamic frame is little different from a basic 10 symbol frame (the size is greater of course but not as great as having the symbols as paths)
Interactive
The symbols plug-in for Illustrator is hi-impact and interactive.
Symbols selection
Select a single symbol or use the randomization to select random symbols throughout the symbols palette or use the order option to select the symbols in the order of the Illustrator symbols palette. The symbols in the palette can be re-ordered. Symbols can be added and removed from the palette.
Illustrator Symbols palette
Symbols are all accessed via the symbols palette. Illustrator also comes with a vast selection of pre-built symbols. You can also quickly create your own. Or you can use some of the symbols included with the plug-in set (they are royalty-free)
