Placing managed files


    Use the File > Workgroup > Place, Place Sequence, Place as Texture, and Replace commands to place or replace a single, managed file as a link in a checked-out managed file. You can place and replace documents from the current workgroup server only.

To place a managed file:

  1. Make sure you are connected to the network and have access to the managed server.
  2. Open the checked-out version of a managed file.
  3. Choose one of the following:
    • File > Workgroup > Place to place the document.
    • File > Workgroup > Place Sequence to place a sequentially numbered set of image files as an animated series of frames. (See Placing image files as an animated sequence.)
    • File > Workgroup > Place as Texture to place a texture to the selected layer. If no object is selected, the texture is applied to the background. (See Applying textures to layers.)
    • File > Workgroup > Replace to place a file from another application within the bounding box of a selected object, and maintain the style and transformation information of the original object. (See Replacing objects.)
  4. Select a file and click OK (Windows) or Open (Mac OS).
