How many artboards will Illustrator CS6 be able to handle?

I layout catalogs and production matarials for a pajama company.  I use pattern swatches extensively to depict our pajama patterns on illustrated garment blanks.  Because InDesign can't handle pattern swatches (and I just found out that CS6 STILL won't be able to), I've been doing all my layout in Illustrator- one page at a time.  I'm still using CS3, and I'm trying to convince my boss to upgrade.  I wonder how the multiple artboards in CS6 will handle catalog layout?  I know it won't have the functionality of InDesign, but would it be feasable to put together a ~100 page catalog in Illustrator?  Links to a tutorial or two would really help, also. 
Thanks

Thanks for the response-
I know I can import objects that have an applied pattern fill, but I'm constantly changing, updating, re-applying the fills, and it's ended up easier to do things one page at a time rather than bounce back and forth between InDesign and Illustrator for every little change on thousands of individual items.  Also, the way an object with an applied pattern fill comes in to InDesign- it's  like a clipping mask, so I've got selectable, yet invisible information where the pattern swatch falls outside the borders of the object- and it very quickly turns into an unmanageable soup of selectable stuff. 
I can also rasterize them, but it doesn't match the fewer items that are still vector.  I could rasterize ALL the illustrations so they match, but then I'm bouncing between Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign to make all the myriad of changes my boss wants me to make.

Thank you for your repsone. I'm not sure what has occurred but I am able to make additional rules, save apply them; quit the application and upon re launch they are there. I have no explination as to what facillitated the change. Thank you for your response and querry.

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • Report execute time nd how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?

    Post Author: Prasad15
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Is there any way to know how long the report executes and how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?
    Regards
    Prasad

    To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
    You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

  • How many items will overflow in FI-SL Deltaqueue?

    Hi,experts:
        As to SAP note
       "If the Delta method has been initialized for a source system, a Delta upload must be scheduled regularly so that the Deltaqueue will not overflow. If you want to stop the Delta method, you should also delete initialization."
        Then I have a question that how many items will overflow or how to calculate the maximum records?
    Best Regards
    Martin Xie

    Hi,
    In case of FI-SL the delta queue is not used so its not possible to count the number of records.
    an SAP program-internal limit ensures that no more than 1 million LUWs are ever read and fetched from the database per delta request.
    But even the LUW's can be a one document or many documnets bundled together.
    So its defentely a multiple of million but its defenately not possible to count the number of records but you can make an assumption based on memory.
    Thanks

  • How many situation will Aggregate Error occurs in Content Services?

    Hi
    while uploading files into content services its giving Aggregare error ?
    but no category, have the full access and no exceeds to library quota?
    how many situalltion will aggregate error occurs in content services while uploading?
    how can i resolve this problem in content services.
    Thanks in Advance

    Typically aggregate errors are thrown for Bulk operations. A bulk operation is one where you tend to operate on multiple items (Folder, Documents) at a time. FileManager.createDocuments() , FileManager.delete(list of docs) are examples of this.

  • How many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section?

    how many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section? can I modify the max rows setting?

    I think the hardcoded limit in Admin is 250.  However, I don't think 250 active rows in a single custom section on a specification would perform very well.  I would try not to exceed 30 active rows per section per specification.  Performance involves so many variables, it will depend on the type of extended attributes you have used in each cell.   For example, if you had one section with 10 columns and 30 rows and every cell had 15 radio button choices the section would take quite a while to render.   If helpful, you can always submit your custom section designs to support and we can review it for any potential gotchas.
    Thanks

  • How many years will my PowerBookG4 still work?

    I Have a 2001 PowerBookG4. The battery is dead, but it works with the charger. I'm wondering. How many years will it still work? What can I do to help? It's really old, and I won't lose it =\. Thanks.

    My 2003 PowerBook G4 1Ghz  is still working flawlessly. I treated to to a new battery about a years ago.
    A friend has three circa 1998 PowerBook G3 "Wallstreets" that he uses every day. All three are running Panther 10.3.9 with the help of XPostfacto. I upgraded the hard drives to more modern 5400 rpm drives of 40 and 60G, and maxed the RAM on two to 512MB. They won't die.
    With care, it's likely that you'll run out of software support before the hardware caves. That;s what my Wallstreet friends is discovering.
