Did You Know: Symbol Layers

Symbol Layers

This post is like a quick tip, but it focuses on helpful Illustrator features. Did you know that Illustrator CS5 Symbols contain their own layers! Symbols in CS5 have an independent layer order so you can create sublayers in the Layers panel for symbols when in symbol editing mode. Pretty cool.

  1. Yes, I know that, and sometimes, if I use effects and then expand it, it´s annoying.
    But I use it very often.

    I´m still working on layer organisation of one of my works.
    Picking pieces of Objects, putting them into a layer, to see which piece belongs to which object.
