    Some symbol questions

    Rodieck Community Member

      I'm working with symbols for the first time (amateur here), and I'm confused about a couple of things.

       

      • I've created some symbols and saved them into a user defined library under 'some name'.  Then I open a file in which I'd like to use those symbols.  But when I open the symbol library user defined library, my 'some name' symbol library isn't there.  Is there any way I can continue to access my symbol library without having to shut down and reopen Illustrator?
      • I'm developing a slight tremor in my hand.  So when I want to spray one instance, i often get two or three.  Is there any way I can control the number of instances sprayed at onece?  ( I only have a mouse, not a graphics tablet.)

       

      I'm running CS6 on a 64-bit Dell PC.
