Placing files into documents while working with Version Cue projects


    While you're working with a Version Cue project in Illustrator, InCopy, or InDesign, you can add a file to a document in the same manner as you normally would--by using the Place command.

    Placed files from Version Cue projects display additional information in the Links palette (in Illustrator or InDesign) to identify who is editing a linked file. You can also use the Links palette to determine if the linked file needs to be updated to a newer version from the Version Cue workspace. For more information on using the Links palette with Version Cue files, see Using the Links palette with files from a Version Cue project.

    Note: Photoshop CS doesn't support placing files from Version Cue projects but does let you place files into open documents within Version Cue projects.

To place a file from a Version Cue project into a document:

  1. In Illustrator CS, InCopy CS, or InDesign CS, choose File > Place.
  2. Click Version Cue Version Cue button (Windows) (Windows) or Version Cue button (Mac OS) (Mac OS).
  3. Select a file, and click Place.
  4. For complete information on placing files into documents in Creative Suite, see the specific application's Help.

To place a file that isn't managed by Version Cue into a Version Cue document:

  1. In Illustrator CS, InCopy CS, InDesign CS, or Photoshop CS, choose File > Open.
  2. Click Version Cue.
  3. Open the file from the Version Cue workspace Workspace icon (Windows) or Workspace icon (Mac OS) and project Project icon (Windows) (Windows) or Project icon (Mac OS) (Mac OS) that is hosting it.
  4. Choose File > Place.
  5. Click Local Files.
  6. Select a file, and click Place (Illustrator) or Open.
  7. For complete information on placing files into documents in Creative Suite, see the specific application's Help.

    TipWhen you place a file from a Version Cue project, a copy of that file is placed in your My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder of working copies for that project. As a result, you can edit that file off-line, while it's disconnected from the Version Cue workspace. (See Working off-line in a Version Cue project.)
