Nesting Symbols within Symbols

So far your roach consists of three discreet symbols: Body, Leg, and Antenna. Each symbol is used more than once and they look like they’re connected because they’re placed on top of each other. As far as Edge is concerned, these symbols aren’t really a single unit, they’re just elements on the stage.

Edge lets you place symbols inside of other symbols. The technique is called nesting, and it’s perfect for bug building. You want to be able to move your roach around the stage without having to reposition each leg and antenna individually. The solution? Select all the bug parts on the stage and then right-click (Control-click). A shortcut menu appears; choose “Convert to Symbol.” When the Create Symbol dialog shows up, name your masterpiece Roach, and then click OK. Now that you have a Roach symbol in your Library, you can create as many as you want. As you see, the process is like the one used to create the legs.
