In previous sections, you learned about the Symbol Palettes pane and how to create palettes, add symbols and categories, and how to save you work. In some situations, you may need to reorganize the content of one or more palettes by moving or copying symbols and categories within the same palette or to another one. The drag and drop feature allows you to do this.

The Symbol Palettes pane supports multiple drag and drop, which means that you can perform the drag and drop operation on several selected objects. To select several objects, press the Ctrl key. Please note that the multiple selection process may be platform dependent.

If you press the Ctrl key (depending on the platform) while dragging and dropping a selection, you will perform a copy operation: a copy of the selection is created in the destination, while the original objects remain in their initial location.

The examples described below are applied to a single symbol, but you can do the same with a category or a set of objects (several symbols, several categories or several symbols and categories).
