This blog will discuss the latest updates to the symbol replacement tool in ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud version 3.8. You can now replace raster image point symbols with Adobe Illustrator symbols from an Illustrator symbol library. Not only can you replace raster points from feature layers, but also raster sprites from Esri Vector Tile Basemaps exported from ArcGIS Pro 3.4.<\/p>\n

To learn more about other new features in ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud 3.8, check out the blogs, What’s new in ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud (November 2024)<\/a> and Convert ArcGIS Points to Adobe Illustrator Symbols in Two Simple Steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are sprites?<\/h2>\n

Vector tile basemaps can include sprites, which are small graphic files used in basemaps for road symbols, icons, and texture patterns. All sprites are raster images, which are not ideal for editing in a vector-based software like Adobe Illustrator. While they look great in ArcGIS Pro, sprites brought into Illustrator can appear pixelated compared to the vectors in the map.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2582142,"id":2582142,"title":"highwaysprite1","filename":"highwaysprite1.png","filesize":109204,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/maps-for-adobecc\/mapping\/swap-out-your-raster-symbols-for-vector-symbols-in-adobe-illustrator\/highwaysprite1","alt":"map with a highway shield sprite.","author":"341672","description":"","caption":"Highway sprite zoomed to 400% in Adobe Illustrator.","name":"highwaysprite1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2581852,"date":"2024-11-13 18:52:11","modified":"2024-11-13 18:53:26","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":932,"height":468,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":233,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":386,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","large-width":932,"large-height":468,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","1536x1536-width":932,"1536x1536-height":468,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","2048x2048-width":932,"2048x2048-height":468,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1-826x415.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":415,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/highwaysprite1.png","wide_image-width":932,"wide_image-height":468}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

How this workflow applies to other basemaps and symbol libraries<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to use just the World Navigation symbol library provided. Any sprite, from any basemap, can be swapped out with symbols from your own custom libraries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my example, there is another sprite in the basemap for rail stations.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2582632,"id":2582632,"title":"railstation","filename":"railstation.png","filesize":108834,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/maps-for-adobecc\/mapping\/swap-out-your-raster-symbols-for-vector-symbols-in-adobe-illustrator\/railstation","alt":"rail station icon sprite in the map","author":"341672","description":"","caption":"","name":"railstation","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2581852,"date":"2024-11-13 19:48:26","modified":"2024-11-13 19:48:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":888,"height":380,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":199,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":329,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","large-width":888,"large-height":380,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","1536x1536-width":888,"1536x1536-height":380,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","2048x2048-width":888,"2048x2048-height":380,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation-826x353.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":353,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/railstation.png","wide_image-width":888,"wide_image-height":380}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

To use your own library for symbol replacement:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Create your symbols in Illustrator. I found the rail stations icon from the Esri Developer site<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Add the symbol to the symbols panel. You can add many symbols to the panel, but for this example, I\u2019m just adding this rail station icon. Make sure the symbol you create has the same name as the layer you are planning to replace.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the menu icon to save the symbols library as an .ai file.<\/li>\n
  4. Run symbol replacement again with the custom library path.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
