Setting up head turns in Adobe Animate is way easier when each head angle is its own symbol:
✅ Select the head pose layers (shift-select)
✅ Right-click → Copy Layers
✅ Ctrl/Cmd + F8 → New Symbol (HeadSide / HeadFront / Head 3/4)
✅ Paste layers inside the symbol + delete the blank Layer 1
✅ Back in the rig: make new layers and drag each head symbol onto the stage, line it up, and hide the others while positioning
This keeps your rig clean and makes switching head angles painless.
