5. Resize the symbol instance.
Depending on the size of the symbol instance, you may want to make it larger or smaller. First select the Selection
tool in the toolbox and click the symbol instance. Then drag one of the corner handles on the symbol instance to
enlarge or reduce it. As with drawing shapes, holding down the Shift key as you drag causes Illustrator to constrain
the proportions of the symbol instance.
You can also use the Scale tool or the Transform palette to resize selected objects in the document window. (See
“Scaling objects” on page 293.)
6. Align the symbol instance and the shape.
Make sure the Selection tool is still active in the toolbox, and drag a marquee around both the shape and symbol
instance. Then choose Window > Align to show the Align palette.
The Align palette contains buttons for aligning and distributing objects. First, we clicked the Horizontal Align
Center button. Then we clicked the Vertical Align Center button.
