How to load and set a CSF file via script in illustrator

Question

Hi

We are trying to get all of our team to use the CSF file to manage color settings to make them all consistant. We have created a CSF file, but would like a way to automatically set Illustartor to use the file, without the need to get the user to set it.

Ideally would like it to be set on startup, if CSF file exists.

Thanks

@Nigel24120264gn0u there isn't a direct "auto-load CSF on startup" feature built into Illustrator. But, you might be able to place your .csf file (Color Settings File) in a location where Illustrator expects to find it, or to use scripting/deployment tools to manage the settings. More or less, place the custom .csf file in Illustrator's Color Settings directory on each user's machine. Once it's there, it will appear in the Color Settings dropdown, and you can potentially set it as the default.
