Thank you! I see the logic, though I would prefer to link by default, then unlink option.

When a symbol is resized/reoriented, it would be good to have all instances do the same. Currently - as far as I can see - they do not.

Here's 3 macros to do the job. Select both objects before running macro. Sometimes one of the different planes macros doesn't do the right thing . . . just try the other! Swap object positions.afmacros

Keep ommand (Mac) pressed, click anywhere to create multiple copies . . .

Brilliant!

Apply warp to LION . . . text on curve, masked, warped.afdesign

Think I've worked this out . . . the sync symbol has to be switched on!

You're welcome, keep up the good work!

Yes, iPAD Air 2. Works OK in official release so something has changed!

Larger text is set off on my iPAD. See my lastest post: "Doesn't make any difference if stroke is in front or behind. I have none set because the dashes to choose start or end do not work. On my machine it works fine on the official release."

I didn't want to exchange one group for another . . . I wanted to use 1 instance of a symbol to create a substitute group . . . as per the video

Just doesn't work on my iPAD Air 2 2019, IOS 15.7.2

Yes, where the bunny replaces the flower, Here's another video to demonstrate what I mean. And here's my file. Try replacing stars with another symbol . . . balls.afdesign

No longer works in latest beta.

I'm following this on iPAD. When he reaches 11:13 in, the video producer copies a new symbol over the existing (in video, bunny replaces flower). I asked him how, to make sure my understanding was correct. His answer: Just hide the flower group and paste the bunny inside the symbol. It acts like a group. You can add more content to it, edit and delete elements. All I had to do was place the bunny inside, scale it and position it to match the flower - and the pattern is altered." However, I cannot do this on iPAD as all I get is a new layer. I don't have Beta on MacPro, so cannot compare. Not sure if bug or not.

Will qualify . . . this is when text is used as a clipping mask then warped

If applying a warp to text on curve, the warp operation breaks the text (artistic text). The bounding box does not follow the curved text, but the straight text before it is curved.

When I try to place second image, first one stays in Place sidebar and is not replaced by the one I chose.

iPAD Air 2, 2019, iOS 15.7.2 Not sure sbout hardware acceleration on this machine Not pasting into an adjustment Video attached Drag takes a long time, still needs tap to view RPReplay_Final1679327689.m4v

Members 75 Posted 33 minutes ago When placing an image from Photos in a document: 1. Takes quite a time 2. Sometimes comes in inverted or reversed. 3. When placing a second image, the first remains in the sidebar after second is selected, and if placed brings in the first image again. The same behaviour occurs in Designer 2 Beta. Also, when placing an image it says to 'drag' it. Should it not be 'tap to place'?

Thanks, Walt. Re the strange behaviour with the middle image, I turned off the background layer, turned back on and bingo , , , everything was as expected! Very strange behaviour . . .

Using 2.1.0.1730 Beta. Strange, my 'front' image shows 100 percent . . . how did you arrive at 46? Thanks Media mockup.afdesign

Tried to place three images (embedded)on mockup . . . but turned out milky to different degrees. File attached. Media mockup.afdesign
