    Default How do I permanently save swatches???

    Hi, our clients consistently use the same colors and instead of having to reference past jobs for those colors I would like to save swatches. The problem I am having is: I can save the colors but they stay with that specific document. I want to keep them permanently in my library. I think I should be able to do it, and I believe I am just not doing something right. Can anyone help me with this; I feel like a blockhead. Oh, I am using 10. Thanks.

    Default Re: How do I permanently save swatches???

    Create a new swatch Library with only the colors you want then in the swatch palette drop down menu save the swatch and select the swatches folder in the AI folder under Presets now your new swatch will be listed as a choice for future projects as long as you leave it in swatches folder. Or if you forgot choose Other… and navigate to an existing ai document with the right colors and delete the colors you don't want in that swatch and save the remaining to the swatches folder and it will be available.

    You can learn more about this in the manual and on line help.
