Symbols

[David_Yowell@adobeforums.com]

I am interested in creating some personal palettes of symbols. I know how to make a symbol in an open document, however, I have not been able to any information on how to make a set of symbols in it's own palette to be stored in the symbol library.

I am using Illustrator 10 with Windows ME and Windows XP. Thanks in advance for the help.

David,

Symbols are found in Illustrator\Presets\Symbols (in CS and I believe same in version 10). They are .ai files. Check out Chapter 3 of your version 10 manual for use creation and use of Symbols. But you can make a copy of an existing library and rename, then open that in Illustrator and drag n drop your freshly created symbols into that existing symbol library, then delete the symbols in that library you don't wish to be in it. Give that a try.
