If there is already an exposure on that cell, the symbol will be added to a new layer. It will add your symbol on the layer's current cell. You can also select an existing layer from the Symbol Name drop-down menu. In the Symbol Name field, type the name of the symbol.The Create Symbol from Drawing Selection dialog box opens. From the top menu, select Edit > Create Symbol or press F8.Ĭlicking the Create Symbol button in the Edit toolbar will create a symbol from the entire layer.
In the Camera view, select the drawing elements to create a symbol.In the Tools toolbar, select the Select or Cutter tool.It then becomes a separate entity that you can import into other projects. This conversion breaks the drawing's link with both the original scene and symbol. To do this, you must first convert your symbol into a template. You can share a symbol and use its contents (the drawings) in another scene. You can click on the symbol's name to move up the chain. To help you follow the hierarchy of your nested symbol, take note of the Editing stack at the top of the Camera view which displays the path to your symbol's location. You can nest many symbols one inside the other. When you enter a symbol to edit it, you are entering another scene with an independent timeline. The pivot is translated at the centre of the symbol. When you edit a symbol, the drawings contained in it are not placed at the centre of the stage, but are located in the position where they were created. You can either edit a symbol from the Timeline view or from the Library view. If you modify them, the original and other instances will also be modified. If other symbols are nested inside the new symbol, they are not duplicated. If you want to edit a symbol without modifying the other instances, you must duplicate the symbol first. If you modify one, they will all be modified. If you import a symbol into your scene several times in the Timeline view, they will all be linked to the original symbol. When you import a symbol from the library to the Timeline view it is linked to the original symbol in the library. The symbol cannot be retrieved once you close the application. You can use the Undo function to retrieve the data. When you delete a symbol, it will be deleted from your hard drive. You do not need to create symbols in order to create drawings or characters in Toon Boom Harmony. You can also create symbols out of each body part in your cut-out puppets. A symbol combines animation, artwork or layers into a single object that you can control in one layer.
