: How can I Change the color of a bunch of symbols in Illustrator I have a set of flat objects and they are independent, they only share the same file. I mean they are all in one single

@Kaufman565

Put all symbols in your artboard.
Select them all (Ctrl+A).
Press the right mouse button and select Break link symbol. Then you can choose the color you want.

I think there is no "designer" solution to your problem. The way I understand your problem the solution would be Scripting.

This would be a starting point: wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scripting/illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript_cs5.pdf There should be never versions around.
