Creating unbound variables


    You can create a new variable without binding it to an object attribute. You can also let Illustrator create a variable when you make an object dynamic. (See Binding variables to object attributes.)

To create an unbound variable:

    Click the New Variable button  the New Symbol button in the Variables palette, or choose New Variable from the Variables palette menu. An unbound variable with no type the no type variable appears in the Variables palette.
