HELP: Can you switch Illustrator’s file Linking feature from ABSOLUTE to RELATIVE?
by Nick vand (niicuk) on Jun 23, 2008 at 10:46:14 am

Hi guys,

I’m working on a rather large project in which there are around 30 AI files all linking to around 100 PSD files. Is there a way to switch Illustrator’s Linking feature from Absolute to Relative? So I can simply copy the parent directory to any location and it will all work without showing broken tags?

It isn't possible to wrap the final AI up with all the images embedded because the file becomes unworkable and removes the dynamic ability to update content from Photoshop. We are wanting to maintain the Linking relationship.

I’ll be stunned if projects aren’t this flexible – I’m hoping there is a solution to this.

Thanks to all for any advise/suggestions! Much appreciated.

Cheers
Nick.
