Window › Symbol Libraries and the Symbols panel's Symbol Libraries Menu open each symbol library in a library panel of its own, on the shared library panel code the swatch and graphic style libraries use (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/traces-mockups-symbols/create-or-import-symbol-libraries.html, .../symbols-panel-options.html, .../create-and-place-symbols.html). - Basic Shapes: one original library generated in code (circle, squares, triangle, diamond, hexagon, star, burst, arrow); no other app's libraries. - A click adds a library symbol to the document's Symbols as one undo step, with its Symbol Options and the resources it uses (nested symbols, patterns, swatches, brushes, graphic styles, images), and makes it the current symbol; one already there isn't added again, a clash of names numbers the library's. Shift/Cmd-clicks select for Add to Symbols. Dragging a library symbol onto the canvas adds it and places an instance there, in the same step. - Save Symbols… (library menu, Window menu) and Save Symbol Library… (Symbols panel menu) write the document's symbols as a .vectorcraft document holding only them, into the user library folder (User Defined, window.userSymbolLibrary1-10) or a file; Other Library… reads the symbols of any document VectorCraft opens, and a file it can't read is an error. Commands: symbol.libraries, symbol.library, symbol.addFromLibrary (place, x, y), symbol.saveLibrary, symbol.loadLibrary; UI: window.symbolLibrary (.other), ui.saveSymbolLibrary (dialog saveSymbolLibrary). i18n rows in every complete catalog; docs updated.
