Quick Tip - restoring Sync to an detached part of a symbol


Recommended Posts

Don't know if this has been posted yet, and an initial search brought up nothing...

 

If you have a Symbol that contains many parts and in the process of working, one part or more may have gotten "detached" (either by disconnection or other means*) I've found a quick way to fix it is to select the object that's not connected (i.e. doesn't sync with the symbol), cut it and then paste it back. I had a series of text objects that weren't syncing and that cut&paste fixed them.

 

*Other means could be that the original file was created in a Beta, then opened in a new version, worked on some more in yet another beta and then (FINALLY) in the latest version. Some were along the way, the instances of the symbol got locked on some art boards that had it, and not on others. I'm in the middle of several projects and can't research the "whys" as completely as I'd like, but just had to share this lil' tip. Hope it works for y'all like it worked for me!

I encourage kids to go ahead and play on my lawn. I mean, how else can I make sure the death-traps work?
