Creating symbols
Creating a Symbol starts with grouping the set of controls that you want to become your Symbol. You can create a new group or use a group you already have. The following steps assume you are creating a new group.
- Select the controls you want to group.
Group your selection (select Edit > Group, or use CTRL/⌘+G). Note that the control selection will turn purple to indicate they are a group.
Click on the "Convert To Symbol" button in the Property Inspector.
- Name your Symbol.
You will notice that the group selection changes to green. The selection is now an instance of a Symbol and you can reuse it in your project.
This new Symbol will be displayed in the Symbols category of the UI Library for all wireframes in your project so that you can add it to any wireframe.
Tip: Once a Symbol has been created you can also add it via search using the first few letters of its name, just like other controls.
