The behaviour to link files is the same since many years.

For example CS2:

menu: File --> Place

check: Checkbox [Link] (or similiar, I don't know the right english term for that)

That's all!

The file will be linked and not embedded and the option for linked files is available in the save options.

The link behaviour is the same, but the un-embedding you described was not available in CS5.

Hahaha.

Thank you Ton and Monika. Now I can see the difference.

I always had and have the necessary images for the relink. And that's why I never have to un-embed an image from an Illustrator file before.

Thanks for your patience.

No problem, Patience is my middle name 🙂

In your file:

select the image
in the control bar select [remove embedding] (or similiar, I don't know the right english term for that.)
try to save your file again - the option "Include Linked Files" should be available again

For the future:

If you place an image - at the bottom of Place dialog window there is an option: [Show Import Options]. Be sure the checkbox is checked and then set: link files

If that works for you

Have fun

Did you check in the Links Panel if there are linked files?

thank you for your reply.
yes there are linked files. but when I do changes in the pic that linked it
doesn't change.
for some reason the pic is transformed to an object. like in this picture:

Your image is not visible.

Can you show the Links panel with a link selected and the link info expanded?
