Regression: Illustrator CC saves each instance of symbol in .ai file separately How to reproduce this problem in Illustrator СС:
Create clean AI file with A4 page.
Place any pixel image (with size ~10 mb) embedded to this page. Save file, it will have size about ~10 mb)
Make this image as symbol and remove object from page.
Place symbol to page one time.
Save file. File size will be, eg, ~10 mb.
Now place same symbol to page more 4 times, total will be 5 images on page.

edit color of text in symbol instance I think it should be possible to edit the color of text in a dynamic symbol instance, just like it possible to change the color fill of any other element

Possibility to break links for several selected symbols at once At the moment it is not possible to unlink several selected symbols at once with the context menu command. Illustrator will unlink the symbol that is at the top in the layer panel.
If you use the symbol menu command to unlink the symbols all selected symbols are unlinked.
Thank you!

Please add keyboard shortcut to edit a symbol We need do edit symbols very often, a keyboard shortcut would make our workflow more efficient.

symbol marker in preview and outline view I'd like to see a symbol "marker" of some sort to quickly identify symbols used on a layout, much like the pilcrow and other typographic characters used in InDesign (that can be turned On or Off). These "markers" should be visible in both Preview and Outline views. Thanks. A.C.

I would like to be able to set the grid origin when editing a symbol. If I open a symbol from the symbols window, the grid position is always offset from the origin of the symbol. It is not currently possible to set the grid origin here. Why doesn't the grid origin set to the registration point of the symbol? At least an option to do this would be great.

Enable in the name box of the Symbol Options panel the use of Character Format for strike-through. See uploaded files
