Automate objets replacement with a symbol !
With symbolReplacement, replace every object of a selection by a given symbol (Named 'Dot').
Then, you don't have to update 10, 20, 30 objects but only one symbol.
Use
- Download and place the script in the Illustrator scripts 's folder.
- In your document, draw the symbol you will use for replacement et name it VERY PRECISELY "Dot".
- Select all the objects to modify and launch the script via File/Scripts/ (Other scripts/ if you didn't save the script in the Illustrator script folder) SymbolRemplacement.
All the the selected objects were instantly replaced by the symbol.
