All objects Use the Visibility variable to make an object’s visibility dynamic. You can also 
make the visibility of groups and layers dynamic.

Creating unbound variables
You can create a new variable without binding it to an object attribute. You can also let 
Illustrator create a variable when you make an object dynamic. (See 
.)
To create an unbound variable:
Click the New Variable button   in the Variables palette, or choose New Variable from the 
Variables palette menu. An unbound variable with no type   appears in the Variables 
palette.
Binding variables to object attributes
Binding a variable to an object attribute makes the object dynamic. The type of object and 
type of variable determines what attributes of the object can change. You can bind a 
Visibility variable to any object to make the object’s state of visibility dynamic. If the object 
is text, a linked image, or a graph, you can also make the object’s content dynamic. 
(See 
.)
To make the visibility of objects dynamic:
Select one or more objects. Use the Layers palette to select all the objects in a layer or 
group. (See 
.)
Do one of the following:
If you want to create a new variable, make sure that no variable is selected in the 
Variables palette.
If you want to bind the object to an existing variable, select that Visibility variable in the 
Variables palette.
