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 proxy’s 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), you’ll receive a warning if a proxy is not linked to a Canvas Image File.
