Pin Swatches

[tsurielh69235026]

Hello Community!
Ok, i have already got that when you import file to Illustrator, the default swatches are gone and i need to go to the library to find it...cant understand why but i got that.

BUT, how can i retrieve it back to the regular place (the first menu i open in the attaced link)
So as i pick a shape > go to Fill> and to see the Default swatches?

You need to select them and add them to the swatches panel of your document.

But it would be gone next time ill open the illustrator.. i have tried that 😞

Not in the document where you added them to the swatches.

It may be better if you don't open images in Ilustrator (they don't have swatches), but create a new document and place them.

That what i do and you are totally right! i succeeded.
So, i should never use "open" in order to import image but to place it( or drag into an new document)?

Yes, place or drag is better.

But place RGB images in an RGB document and CMYK images in a CMYK document unless you want to convert them.
