Broken Links

I have replaced my file server. Now many of my linked images can't be found. How can I view the original path in order to make sure it is accessible?

    Flip the arrow at the bottom of the links palette, and look for Location..

    Would also recommend renaming your server to the exactly same name and folder structure as before, unless you have to change the file path for other reasons.

    I have the same problem. I have 3 months worth of Adobe Illustrator design board work. We moved our office and everything was migrated to a new server. None of the design boards have any pictures on them. The Links Palette has no record of the previous path. Do I have to relink everything maually? That will take weeks.

    If there is a folder next to the Illustrator file that has the name Links and that folder contains the linked images, Illustrator will find them automatically.
