Specifying how to update and display linked files
The Update Links preference lets you control how Illustrator updates linked artwork when the source files change. You can also control how Illustrator displays linked EPS files: at full resolution with vectors in full color or at low resolution for increased performance.
To specify how to update linked files: - Choose Edit > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Mac OS).
- Choose an update method from the Update Links pop-up menu:
- Automatically to have Illustrator update linked artwork automatically when the source files are modified.
- Manually to leave linked artwork unchanged when the source files are modified. You can use the Links palette to identify and update linked artwork whose source files have been modified. (See Updating linked artwork.)
- Ask When Modified to display a dialog box when the original files are modified. In the dialog box, click Yes to update the linked artwork or click No to leave it unchanged.
To turn on high resolution display: - Choose Edit > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Mac OS).
- Deselect Use Low Resolution Proxy for Linked EPS.
Deselect Use Low Resolution Proxy to view linked EPS files that don't include built-in previews.
