Using the Library panel
The FreeHand library stores symbols and master pages for reuse throughout a document. Using the Library panel, you can create a symbol from any object, text, or group; delete or group symbols; and import and export symbols and master pages.
Symbols help you to streamline the use of repetitive elements and to minimize file size. You can create instances of a symbol; instances are children of their parent symbol. Many instances of a single symbol can appear in a document, and these instances can be transformed individually with different attributes. For more information, see Creating and importing symbols.
Master pages enable you to create a consistent look throughout your document by carrying graphics, text, and page attributes across some or all document pages. For more information, see Working with master pages.
