Illustrator has long relied on symbols as its primary method to automate the appearance of repeating objects inside one or more artboards. Now with the Start Global Edit button in the Properties panel, Illustrator CC 2019 offers to change all of the duplicates automatically. It’s a huge time-saver, not to mention, a little bit magical.
- [Instructor] In this movie,…I'll show you how to assign global edits…in Illustrator CC 2019, my preferred way,…which is from the control panel.…And so the first thing I'm going to do…is go to the word Essentials,…up here in the top right corner of the screen,…and switch to Essentials Classic.…Which is going to bring back my full toolbox,…as well as the horizontal control panel…along the top of the screen.…And then, what I like to do is grab my Layers panel,…which is represented by this icon right here,…and drag it and drop it into the Properties group.…
Alright, I'm going to go ahead…and twirl close this layer right here.…And, I'm going to make the Layers panel a little wider…so that I can see the names of all my layers.…And then I'll press Control + 0…or Command + 0 on the Mac, in order to center my zoom.…Alright, now let's say I want to modify the color…of this gradient, which appears by the way…on every single artboard.…And you can see that's the case…as I press shift + PgDn.…Alright, so I'll go ahead…and switch back to my black arrow tool,…
