Symbols are objects which can have multiple instances. When you edit one of them all the others will change their colour shape properties or whatever. This will save you a lot of time when you’re editing in Affinity Designer. It’s really easy to create symbols when you use the symbols panel in Designer. To have the symbols multiplied all you have to do is try them out of the symbols panel onto your page. If you have text as a symbol you can add more characters to it or change the characters in which ever way. Change the font and the attributes of the text. Whatever type of object you can rotate, change size and even move nodes and alter the shape fundamentally in the design. It’s also possible to add fancy effects from the effects panel. Add shadows, 3-D, contours as well as changing the colour as you need to. If you have a very complicated design with multiple symbols in multiple positions within the design it only makes sense to use symbols. If you have to change the attributes of any other symbols it easy to do in one place rather than having to search through a large file and possibly miss one or two. ## Please subscribe to make sure you hear about all the Good and Geeky / Wizardgold videos.
