Removing proxies
To remove a proxy object easily, without replacing it with an original
image, select the proxy object and press Delete, or use the Cut or
Clear commands in the Edit menu.
To replace a proxy with its linked image
1
Select the proxy you want to replace.
2
Choose Image > Proxy > Unlink Proxy. Canvas asks if you are
sure you want to remove the link between the Canvas Image File
and the proxy.
3
Click OK to replace the proxy and remove the link to the Can-
vas Image File.
Maintaining proxies
If someone changes the name or location of a Canvas Image File that
is linked to one or more proxies, Canvas alerts you that the file could
not be found when you try to edit, unlink, or update any of the prox-
ies.
You can check proxies in a document at any time to verify that the
links are valid. If Canvas detects unlinked proxies, you can re-link
them to existing Canvas Image Files.
To verify proxy links
To determine if any proxy links are broken, choose Image > Proxy >
Check Proxies.
If Canvas finds an unlinked proxy, it displays selection handles
around the proxy and centers it in the document window. Canvas dis-
plays a message telling you that the proxy has a problem because the
image file could not be found.
Note: When it finds an unlinked proxy, Canvas displays the proxys
name, if you have assigned a name to the proxy object. You can do
this by typing a name in the Object Name box on the Data tab in the
Object Specs palette.
When Canvas tells you that a proxy has a problem, you should follow
the procedure To re-link a proxy, page 36.732. If a proxy does not
have a valid link to a Canvas Image File, Canvas prints the low-reso-
lution proxy when you print the document.
Important
You should always verify the
proxy links in a document
before final output. If you pro-
duce final high-resolution out-
put from a document with
unlinked or broken proxy
objects, the associated images
will not print correctly.
Tip
If you use the Collect for Out-
put command (File > Collect
for Output), youll receive a
warning if a proxy is not linked
to a Canvas Image File.
