Illustrator crashes when linking large files

In addition to the specifics of your operating system and version of Illustrator already requested could you also provide details about your computer’s hardware (make, model, amount of RAM available, etc.)?

Hi ​@Dynamic_Oceane3e4,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the Illustrator crashes when linking large files. In addition to what our expert has asked, please also tell us the details of your operating system and the version of Illustrator installed on your machine. Where is the file saved (system, network drive, or library)?

Let us know, and we will be happy to assist you further.

Thanks,

Harshika

​@Dynamic_Oceane3e4 when you say big, how big are these files? Do you need to place linked files? Have you tried just embedding the file? 

do you have a teams or enterprise subscription?
