You can access these options in the Symbolism Tools Options dialog box by double-clicking the Symbol Sprayer Tool in the toolbox. The Diameter setting determines the brush size of the tool. Use a larger brush size to disperse symbol instances over a greater area of the artboard. Note that the brush size does not determine the size of the symbol instances themselves. The Intensity setting determines the number of instances of the symbol that will be sprayed. The higher the intensity setting the greater the number of symbol instances that will be dispersed in a given amount of time. The Symbol Set Density setting determines how closely the symbol instances will be positioned to each other. The higher the density setting the more closely packed the instances will appear. Figure 22 shows a symbol instance set with a high symbol set density and Figure 23 shows a symbol instance set with a low symbol set density. FIGURE 22 A symbol instance set with a high symbol set density ILLUSTRATOR 10-16 Drawing with Symbols Expanding a Symbol Set Despite the many options available with the Symbol Sprayer Tool it is often difficult to position multiple symbols exactly where you want them. For this reason alone it is best to think of the Symbol Sprayer Tool as a means to quickly disperse symbol instances but not as a tool to position symbols precisely. Once you have created a symbol instance set that contains roughly the number of symbol instances you want to work with and have positioned them roughly where you want them to be on the artboard you can then apply the Expand command to release the set into individual symbol instances. Figure 24 shows a symbol instance set expanded into individual symbol instances. The power of this operation cannot be overstated. Once expanded all the symbol instances of the set are available to you to be .
