AUTOMATION: Changing Swatch Values

Hello forum,

I am wondering if there is a way, in Illustrator CS2, to automatically change the CMYK values of named (spot color) swatches in the palette of an open AI file (I am running under Windows OS).

I would like to be able to choose from a predefined series of color schemes the color combination desired for the working file and have the CMYK value of the named spot color swatches changed to coincide with the selected combination (as opposed to manually selecting each swatch and entering the CMYK values).

The predefined color schemes file would need to be able to be manually modified as well.

I hope my description makes sense, hehe. Any ideas?

Thanks,

    You can use recolur artwork with the feature to limit colours to a swatch library or scheme.
    This video shows recolour artwork, at the selected time you see how to limit it to a book https://youtu.be/eYHGdB8nB-M?t=144

     I think it should be able to see any colour book, so you would also need to learn how to convert your predefined schemes to colour books.
