Replacing Symbols

You know by now (if you read the previous tip) that you can replace all instances of a symbol. What we haven't told you yet is that if you applied effects, changed colors with the Symbol Stainer tool, or resized the instance, all those characteristics will be preserved when you replace the symbol with a new one. For example, in our original symbol instance using the planets, we applied various effects and used the Symbol Stainer tool. When we replaced the symbol (see previous tip), all the instances changed to the cat symbol, while still preserving their individual characteristics.
