Embedded documents- how to create them from the inside out


Recommended Posts

Ok gang....this one perplexes me. I am working with embedded document feature and I understand you create a piece of art....OUTSIDE of the file....then you open a new workbook....do your thing and then "FILE ->PLACE" the workbook with the image inside of the new...and I get it is editable ...you double click to edit....etc.etc. my question is this:

 

If I have a document and there is a layer in there or a group that I want to make an EMBEDDED document ....can I create an embedded document from INSIDE the file....?

 

I ask because it takes time to create the image file...then save the image file ...then open up a file I want to place it in...and then bring it inside...that is a crazy work around .....I was wondeing if there was an easier work around where you click on a layer or group and can choose " make embedded file" ..and off it goes 

 

Maybe it doesn't exist ...and maybe no one else wants this feature...but figured I would ask

No, that's not possible.

You could select your layers, Copy, then File > New from Clipboard, then Save or Export. Then delete the layers and use File > Place.
