Using the Selection tool ( ), drag the Rest Area symbol from the Symbols panel into
the UNION PARK area (smaller green area) on the artboard. Drag another into the
CENTRAL PARK (larger green area) on the artboard, and leave it selected.
Note
Although you can transform symbol instances in many ways, specific
properties of instances cannot be edited. For example, the fill color is locked
because it is controlled by the original symbol in the Symbols panel.
Each time you drag a symbol onto the artboard, an instance of the Rest Area symbol is
created. Next, you will resize one of the symbol instances on the page.
Tip
You can also copy a symbol instance on the artboard and paste as many as
you need. This is the same as dragging a symbol instance out of the Symbols
panel onto the artboard.
7.
Using the Selection tool and holding down the Shift key, drag the upper-right corner of
the Rest Area symbol instance in the CENTRAL PARK area up and to the right, to
make it a little larger, while constraining its proportions. Release the mouse button, and
then release the modifier key.
