Illustrator :: Sort By Name In Symbol Libraries?

Jul 2, 2013

I know you can sort in the main symbol window but in the symbol libraries there is no sort feature. Is there a way to get them to be in alphabetical order?

Illustrator :: Why Are Default Symbol Libraries Dumped Down

Jan 31, 2014

Once in awhile I try to use a symbol from one of the Symbol Libraries built into AI (CC in this case). I just wonder why they are dumbed down instead of retaining current features such as path profiles. This image, for example, would be a good starting point for an image if it were left with profiles intact.

I suppose these were created back with the feature did not exist. Then why not update them? I'm paying enough for the privilage of using AICC.

Illustrator :: Edit Text In Symbol Instances Without Breaking Link To Symbol

Sep 26, 2012

Is there a way to edit the text in a symbol instance without breaking the link to the symbol?
 
a really simplen example would be several instances of the same button graphic but with different labels.
 
I know these things are possible in Fireworks, but couldn't find a way to make it happen in Illustrator.

Illustrator :: How To Open Swatch Libraries On Start-up

Nov 8, 2013

I'd like my company color palette to be present when I create a new document.
 
I've tried saving the a color group as .ase but when I try and open my user defined swatch library, it's not clickable. That's a workaround for what I want anyway. It seems like there used to be an option called "persistent" in older versions but how do I get my colors to automatically appear when I'm using CC?

Illustrator :: Saving Color Groups As ASE Swatch Libraries

Jul 9, 2013

Is there a way to save an lllustrator color group as an ASE swatch library? When I try to do this, the entire library, including all the default swatches, are saved, when all I want are the particular swatches I've added to a new colour group. I want to be able to save swatch libraries for various clients, then be able to access them in InDesign and Photoshop as well. Or alternatively, is there a way to remove unwanted swatches from a swatch library once it's been saved? (Using CS6 on a Mac running 10.8.4)

Illustrator :: Printing Hard Copies Of Libraries And Fonts?

Jun 18, 2013

I am just wondering if there is a way to print off a hard copy of the fonts (without going into the individual TTF files and printing them). and or all of the swatches.  For example, if I want to find a callout, and do not remember which library it is in, I have to navigate and open every font, then scroll through visually.  I would love to have a binder that I could refer to with these files printed off?

Illustrator :: Convenient Way To Edit Graphic Style Libraries

Oct 14, 2013

Is there any convenient way to edit symbol, swatch or graphic style libraries? The way I do now is  quite time-consuming: I open a library I need to edit, create a new symbol, select other symbols of the opened library (so that they appeared withing the generic "Symbols" tab alongside with the new symbol), then press "Save Symbol Lybrary", select the library I've already opened and replace it with the new one  (with a new symbol added).
 
I would prefer just to open a user defined library, drag and drop a new symbol to it and save changes to the library. Is the latter method out there and I just don't know about it? If so, any trick to activate that method.

Illustrator :: Cannot Find User Generated Swatch Libraries To Delete

May 29, 2012

I created two swatch libraries with the same name which was a mistake and means that i always choose the wrong one.
 
In trying to figure out where the swatches are I came across a forum post from adobe that mentioned they were in application support in the library.
 
Well in my case they are not.
 
When I go to save a new swatch library it shows the path on my mac as...
 
private/var/root/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobeillustratorcs6/ en_GB/swatches
  
But i cannot find a way to access this folder to delet the swatch libraries...

Illustrator :: Export Symbol As PNG

Apr 13, 2011

Any way to export an entire symbols Library as PNG's?
 
Sometimes use Illustrator (CS5 on Mac OS X 10.6.7) with it's new pixel grid view for designing websites and it would be really useful to be able to create PNG icons from various graphical symbols I create. The only way I can find at the moment is to place symbols one at a time on a blank art board and export them in the standard way. I can create at action for this but will still have to select each symbol to place.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Numbers Are Added To Symbol When Using Symbol In Lieu Of Balloon

Mar 1, 2013

The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part.  I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol.  So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown.  For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter.  Why is this happening?  What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

Edge Animate CC :: How To Dynamically Set A Symbol Name That Has Been Parsed From XML To Build A Symbol Path

Mar 20, 2013

Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
 
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
 
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.

Illustrator :: Mapping Symbol As Art On 3D Revolve

Aug 19, 2012

Basically I am trying to map a world map vector (symbol) onto a 3d revolve half circle in Illustrator. The problem I am having is that the quality of the map vector is significantly reduced when mapped on the 3d revolve. Is there any way I can have it keep it's "full" vector quality or is there something else I am missing.
 
3D Revolve Vector: [URL] ....
 
Actual Vector: [URL] ....
 
So why the loss in quality and how can I prevent this?

Illustrator :: EPS Delta Symbol Not Displaying

May 21, 2012

I have a eps figure that was generated in MATLAB. One of the axes should contain a "Delta" (triangle) symbol. The symbol appears if I allow Preview (OS X) to convert the esp file to pdf. However, when I open the file with Illustrator, I loose the "Delta" symbol (It gets replaces with a box). I need to edit the eps file with Illustrator, but I also need to retain the "Delta" symbol.
