User defined swatch library?

I upgraded to Illustrator CC and now I can't access my user defined swatch library. It's there, but not highlighted. Any ideas on how to access these, or import from CS6?

on a mac move them from:
Applications/*version of illustrator*/presets/en_US/Swatches
and move them to the same folder in cc.

    How do i move  the user defined swatches in illustrator cs6 to CC

    move files from /Users/"you"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator cs6/en_US/Swatches
    to /Users/"you"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 17/en_US/Swatches
    what i do is i have a folder with all my swatches and i place a link of that folder into the main swatches folder inside the illustrator application folder, that way i have no duplicates and my folder is not burried in a deep folder.

    Thank you Monika. Your response led me to what appears to be success. I opened an existing file that had my swatch palette embedded in it, then selected "Save Swatch Library as AI", giving it the name of my swatch palette. That palette now appears under "User Defined".

  • How can you change a user defined swatch

    How can you change a user defined swatch

    Double click on the swatch in the swatches palette.
    In most case you can do that , unless for example you have a placed image that has that color in a spot channel.

  • How to create a swatch library from multiple png files?

    Illustrator CC
    I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
    What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time.  (you can select all from the existing  user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one  duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
    This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into  the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums  for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way,  just can't find it.
    Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window  option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.
    Any ideas out there?

    Monika,
    Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
    I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.

  • Auto update colors (from custom swatch library) in documents..

    Hi all,
    I searched the forums for all I could, but found no solution for this one...
    So here goes.
    Is there a way to use a 'user defined' swatch library to (auto)update colors in several artworks/files that use that specific swatch library.
    I know I could reload and 'merge' all the swatches from the library with the ones used in the file (with the same name).
    Select the one you want to keep and then the one you'd like to overwrite, merge!
    But here's what I tried and what I think should be possible..
    I have twelve files that all use colours from one 'user defined' swatch library ['Human'], so all twelve files have the same 'skin' colour where needed.
    Now I need the 'skin' colour (in alle twelve files) to be a shade darker...
    My idea was to open the swatch library 'Human' in Illustrator, change the swatch called 'skin' and save.... Presto! All twelve files using this 'skin'colour should now be one shade darker...
    But this doesn't seem to work...
    Swatches are set to 'global'..
    What am I missing or will this be in the 'features requests' part of these forums next?
    Oh and I'm working in:
    Illustrator CS5, windows 7, 64 bit
    Kind regards,
    Erik

    As far as I know color swatches are referenced from the file itself, they are not like a linked image that can update all files using it. So, with swatches you have to apply the change to each file. Probably should be possible to automate this with a script.

  • How to delete self defined "Swatches"?

    I work with Adobe Design Std CS5 Illustrator (German version), newly installed - not migrated from an older model! - on iMac27, i7, SSD and OS X 10.8:
    German:  Ich habe viele eigene Farbpaletten (Farbfelder) unter "Benutzerdefiniert" gespeichert. Ich kann diese von dort auch laden, kann aber die überzähligen "Paletten" nicht löschen, da ich den Order "Benutzerdefiniert" oder die entsprechenden Dateien unter "Adobe Illustrator/Vorgaben/de_DE/Farbfelder (oder Swatches)/..." (Angaben gemäss Hilfe) nicht finden kann. Ich sehe nur die von Illustrator vorgegebenen Paletten. Liegt nun Illustrator Hilfe falsch oder liegt das Problem bei Apple OS X 10.8?
    English: I have created my own "Swatches" (Farbfelder) and saved (too) many of them.
    Now I want to delete the majority, but I cannot find the directory "Benutzerdefiniert" or "User created?" on the path as hinted by the Illustrator Help (German version: Adobe Illustrator/Vorgaben/de_DE/Farbfelder). I only find the various Color Collections stored during Illustrator installation.
    Are Illustrator procedures to blame - or again Apple OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) intricacies?
    Apple started to confuse even long term users with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). Every new version offered many surprises or caveats and endless calls to Apple...
    Shall I reinstall Illustrator and create the user defined "Swatches" again from the relevant Illustrator files? A sledge hammer method...

    Thank you 1.craighead, but you misunderstood. I should be more specific: as I have the German Version it is hard to find correct terms for the English Version. In the German Version the terms "Farbfelder"(Swatches) und Farbfeldbibliotheken"(Swatch Libraries) are not consistently distinguished in Illustrator Help
    What did I do? In my CS5 German Standard Version I saved self-defined Swatch libraries (Farbfeldbibliotheken) the usual way and they are obviously stored under "Benutzerdefiniert (User specified?) as suggested in Illustrator Help.
    What can I do? I can activate such self-defined Swatch Libraries.
    What is my problem? I cannot delete obsolete "Swatch Libraries" neither using the dialogs within the Swatch Window (Fenster Farbfelder) nor delete them from the subdirectory "Benutzerdefiniert" (User defined?) using Mac OS X 10.8 Finder. (Self defined Swatch Libraries are saved under "Adobe Illustrator CS5/Vorgaben/de-DE/Farbfelder/...").
    I ask again:  Did I ignore obvious possibilities? Are Illustrator procedures to blame - or again Apple OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) intricacies?
    I have not yet reinstalled Illustator CS again ....

  • Accessing a user defined library - CLASSPATH

    Hi all
    First I will tell you what I have implmented, then I will discuss the problem.
    My PATH (user variables) is set to c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin and everything works
    fine - I can compile and run from any directory.
    When I open a shell (cmd.exe) my current working directory is:
         C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>
    I have a file in the same directory called Test.java
    Here it is:
    import pack.ClassPathTest;
    class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new ClassPathTest();
    The package "pack" resides at C:\pack
    There are two files within "pack" one is called ClassPathTest.java
    and the other is called ClasspathTest.class
    Here is the code:
    package pack;
    public class ClassPathTest {
    public ClassPathTest() {
    System.out.println("Hello Paul");
    Obviously this program is nonsense, However, I want to find out
    how to access a user defined library of classes that is in a seperate directory.
    When I compile from the desktop with the command: javac Test.java
    The compiler complains, here is the output:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>javac Test.java
    Test.java:1: package pack does not exist
    import pack.ClassPathTest;
    ^
    Test.java:7: cannot find symbol
    symbol : class ClassPathTest
    location: class Test
    new ClassPathTest();
    ^
    2 errors
    If I cut and paste "pack" into the desktop directory everything works as expected.
    Because of this I believe the problem lies with the CLASSPATH of "pack".
    I have tried all sorts of variations of CLASSPATH but to no avail.
    for example under "system variables" in environment variables I have
    used the following:
    .;C:\pack
    Which says look in the current working directory first and then in pack. But
    that does not work (and yes I close the current shell and open a new one).
    Once the CLASSPATH is set .;C:\pack and I compile again the compiler
    moans and gives me this:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>javac Test.java
    Test.java:1: package pack does not exist
    import pack.ClassPathTest;
    ^
    Test.java:7: cannot access ClassPathTest
    bad class file: C:\pack\ClassPathTest.class
    class file contains wrong class: pack.ClassPathTest
    Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
    th.
    new ClassPathTest();
    ^
    2 errors
    Obviously I am doing something wrong, can somebody please help me as I do not wish
    to add my libraries in the same directory as my program. I have even tried to add c:\pack
    to the PATH but that does not work either. HELP!
    Regards
    Paul

    If you are currently in Desktop, you need your classpath to be:
    .;C:\The "pack" package lies in "C:\"
    If you are anywhere else, you need:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop;C:\""Test" lies in the first part, and the "pack" package still lies in "C:\".

    I thought I was the only one!
    I asked a similar question and got no reply. My problem is I want to move from one library to another. I even had a chat with Adobe tech support and got no answer.
    I ended up deleting the assets and re-downloading into the new one.

  • Creating a user-defined field in VL06

    Dear all ,
    Please guide me how to add few user defined fields in the output list of standard VL06 transaction code - (Delivery Monitor Report - WS_DELIVERY_MONITOR) - I have to add in the option of 'List Outbound deliveries' -
    Pls revert.
    Thanks in Advance.
    P.G.R

    Hai
    Follow the bellow steps for creating User Defined Field Exit
    Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
    There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
    Step 1: Determine Data Element
    Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
    Step 3: Create Field Exit
    Step 4: Create Function Module
    Step 5: Code Function Module
    Step 6: Activate Function Module
    Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
    Step 8: Activate Field Exit
    Step 1: Determine Data Element
    - Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
    - An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
    Go the appropriate screen.
    Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
    Press ‘F1’ for field-level help.
    Click on the ‘Technical info’ pushbutton (or press ‘F9’) on the help dialog box.
    On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
    Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
    - The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
    - You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
    - From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
    - After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
    NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
    Step 3: Create Field Exit
    - From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
    - After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
    - Enter the data element name and click the ‘Continue’ pushbutton.
    - Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data element’s field exit.
    Step 4: Create Function Module
    - You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the ‘Continue’ pushbutton.
    - In the ‘Function module’ field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
    FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
    - You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
    - The first function module for a data element’s field exit must be created without an identifier.
    - To create the function module, click on the ‘Create’ pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press ‘F5’.
    - After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing ‘Enter’, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
    - Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
    Step 5: Code Function Module
    - From the function module’s attributes screen, click on the ‘Source code’ pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
    - Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
    - Remember that field exit’s function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
    - You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
    Step 6: Activate Function Module
    - After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
    - Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
    - At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
    - You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
    - When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
    - At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
    - Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
    Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
    - This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
    - To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the ‘Assign prog./screen’ pushbutton.
    - In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
    This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
    - In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the ‘Fld. Exit’ field.
    - If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
    - If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
    Step 8: Activate Field Exit
    - The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
    - Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
    - After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to ‘Active’ and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
    NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

  • Error in User defined function

    I have created a user defined function to make a call to SAP using JCo.
    But I am getting an error "package com.sap.mw.jco does not exist"
    Do we need to install JCo on our server?
    Thanks in advance

    Hallo Vijaya Kumari,
    if you use XI3.0 then you should check csn note 753294: 
    Symptom                                                                         
    A message mapping contains a user-defined function that uses a class            
    from the "com.sap.mw.jco", "sapxmltoolkit" or "com.sap.tc.Logging"              
    library. An error stating that the source code contains syntax errors           
    occurs when you test or activate the message mapping. When you use a            
    class from "com.sap.mw.jco", the system reports, for example, "package          
    com.sap.mw.jco does not exist".                                                 
    This error only occurs in systems containing a Support Package lower            
    than 5.                                                                               
    Solution                                                                        
    Import Support Package 5 or higher.                                             
    You can use the following workaround as a short-term solution: Upload           
    the library that is referenced in the message mapping into the software         
    component of the message mapping as an "imported archive". Do not               
    activate the "imported archive" with the library since it is not needed         
    for the runtime. The only purpose of the archive is to allow the message        
    mapping to be compiled. To avoid version conflicts with newer libraries,        
    you should delete the archive again after you import Support Package 5          
    or higher.
    In your case you will find the relevant jar file in the path
    [sap_j2ee_engine_installaltion_path]\cluster\server0\bin\ext\com.sap.mw.jco\jrfc.jar

    Hello Experts,
    We are using XMLDAS to archive the messages of the adapter engine into a file system.
    User defined search is working fine for the messages in the database, based on the UDMS criteria, in database tab of message monitoring. And as per SAP, "Extracted attributes are archived together with the message and could be used for searching".
