Importing Assets into AD

[MikekPhoto]

This probably a dumb question but I am either confused or not understanding how Assets work.

 

The latest version of AD comes with a number of preloaded iPhone assets which is cool. I would like to create assets for my Flyer business. So in the Assets panel I created a new group called "Print" all well and good so far. In Designer I created some assets I can us  across multiple documents. Like phone, email, and badges like Equal Opportunity Housing.  So now I want to import them into my newly created Print Assets folder.  But how do I export thee new created assets so they can be imported into my newly created assets folder. I have tried everything and not having any luck. I have tried SVG and EPS  but when I try to import you can see the files but they are greyed out. I can load them into Symbols just fine. But Symbols are not persistent and only work on the open document.

 

So clearly doing something silly and any help/guidance would be appreciated

 

Cheers

I can relate - sometimes it's so obvious, and I miss it.  :-)

 

Select the object you want to add, then click on the menu on the category you want it in, and you will see Add From Selection.

Thanks for replying and yes I see it now and apart from AD suddenly quitting after creating a new Asset Category, Works - shame about the crash, but I think this is a know bug and fixed in the next release.

 

Sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees  :D
