Hmmm, that didn’t help because when I go to the link panel, the file does not show up.
Let me explain again in case I did not explain well the first time.
1. I open a VECTOR image (the image is EPS format)
2. The vector image has 15 objects of a rabbit
3. I want to select the 15 rabbits and replace them with 15 gold fishes.
4. When I replace the rabbits with the gold fishes, I want the gold fishes be in the same size and same location as the rabbits were.
What I did was select one of the rabbits, went to the link panel in illustrator cs6, but there was noting in the link panel. Not sure why. I did it several times and made sure the object was selected but each time the link panel was empty.
I notice if the embedded image is a raster image (JPG or PNG) it shows up in the link panel but not when it is vector (EPS).
Any more thoughts or help.
