How can I replace multiple a round path with a symbol?

[Inge Paessens]

I have a layer with a lot of pathes symbolising trees. These pathes I want to replace with a predefined symbol. Can I replace a path with a symbol automatically?
I will add a screenshot with the existing layer.

Thanks for all infos.

 Hi Mylenium,

thanks for your support. Off course I did a quick research too, before I posted my question, but the link does not work anymore. Also the post is from 2016, so I hoped Adobe already added a solution to the updates since 2016.

Best. inge

Try the script from kelsocartography.com (called FindReplace or the like)

I would lock at least half of them before running the script and then run those that have been replaced and run the other ones.

Thanks Monika!
I had trouble with that download but found another skript that works:
