To guard against mistakes, record the File > Save a Copy command at the beginning of 
the action.
Choose commands as you want them recorded. 
If the command you choose opens a dialog box, clicking OK records the command and 
clicking Cancel does not record it. If a chosen command is not recorded, it must be 
inserted in the action. (See 
.)
Note: You cannot record setting optimization options for multiple slices in the Save for 
Web dialog box. Set the slice optimization options before you start recording the action, 
then press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click Remember in the Save for Web 
dialog box. When you record the action, Illustrator will remember the settings.
Stop recording by clicking the Stop Playing/Recording button.
10 If you want to keep the action for use in future work sessions, save the action.

Recording paths
The Insert Selected Path command lets you record a path as part of an action. When 
played back, the entire path is reproduced as part of the action.
To record a path:
Start recording an action.
Select a path.
Choose Insert Select Path from the Actions palette menu.
Selecting an object during an action
The Select Object command lets you select a particular object during the course of an 
action. You identify the object to be selected using the Note text box in the Attributes 
palette. The Select Object function is useful for choosing a particular object during an 
action on which to perform commands, use palettes, or make selections in dialog boxes. 
For example, you could pick a specific ellipse in the artwork on which to perform transfor-
mation effects such as scale or rotate, change stroke characteristics using the Stroke 
palette, or apply colors with the Color palette. 
To name an object for use during an action:
Select the object to be used in the action.
Choose Window > Attributes.
Choose Show Note from the pop-up menu in the Attributes palette.
Type a name for the object in the Note text box. The object now can be used in an 
action sequence.
To select an object during an action:
Record an action, as described in 
, up to 
the point where the object is to be selected.
Choose Select Object from the pop-up menu in the Actions palette.
Enter the object name in the Set Selection dialog box. (The name should match the 
object name entered in the Note text box of the Attributes dialog box.)
