Asset Export panel behavior with missing linked source files
0 reputation · 05 Mar 2021, 01:29 UTC
The Asset Export panel in Adobe Illustrator allows for the definition of multiple scales and formats for specific artboard objects. When assets are linked rather than embedded, the panel processes the export based on the current state of the source file on the local disk.
There is uncertainty regarding the panel's internal handling of linked assets if the source files are renamed or moved during an active session. While the document may flag a missing link, it is unclear how the export engine resolves these references during a batch export process.
- Does the Asset Export panel trigger a standard "Missing Link" dialogue during a batch export, or does it skip the affected assets?
- If a link is broken, will the panel export the low-resolution proxy preview or fail the specific asset export entirely?
