i created a circle and put type on it. i need to make this set a button. i selected both the circle and the text and created a new symbol blah blah. when i go to my library it has it saved as the correct file name but no actual symbol…how do i get it to appear? would it be easier to do make a symbol with text in photoshop then transfer it?..
