Converting multiple SVG files to Symbol Library (Batch SVG to Symbol library script)
I have an iconset saved as individual SVGs (all same size and format). I want to add them all as symbol set in illustrator so I can seach an use them in my work. Adding symbols one by one in Illustrator is very slow and time consuming and I have so many icons it would take weeks/months to add them individually. Here's my current workflow:
- Open blank AI document (for symbol library)
- Copy SVG icon
- Drag to Symbol Palette
- Rename Symbol
- Change export type to "Graphic"
- Click okay
- Repeat above steps for every icon
There must be a faster way - any help would be great and I've looked into scripting but don't have any experience there. I am looking for a script to add my selection of SVGs and add them to a symbol library using the SVGs filename instead of "New Symbol". Any help would be great!
Thanks
