This will allow you to use that same action on other objects or documents.

For example, when you need to scale objects to a certain percentage you can record your action. Any task that you repeat often can have an action created. If you wanted to adjust the lines to be darker you just need to adjust that global colour. An example of using a global colour would be to set your line colours to a particular grey. Global colours link to a swatch in the swatches palette and include a white triangle in the colour icon. All instances of that button will be updated automatically. When you want to change the style of the button you simply modify the original symbol. For example, a button for a web page can easily be turned into a symbol. Then create symbols for those repeat objects and build swatches for commonly used colours. Look at your design and see what objects and colours appear most often. Design your work to utilize global colour swatches and symbols in Illustrator. For example selecting all objects on a page is faster by hitting Control + A (PC) or Command + A (Mac) than selecting everything with your mouse. In no time at all you will build up your speed. Learn one shortcut at a time and use it often. The best way to remember a shortcut is when you are doing a repetitive task. Using the mouse is slow and therefore not efficient.

If you are still using the mouse to select tools then it is time to graduate to keyboard shortcuts. So I thought IвЂ™d share with you my top tips for better workflow in Illustrator. I am always looking for ways to be more efficient and productive in my work. However, it can be tedious for designs that are more complex. Adobe Illustrator is a phenomenal drawing program for designers.
