How to install Swatches and Patterns in Illustrator
To install any Swatches or Patterns from a product you’ve purchased, locate the right file in your folder.
Then, follow these easy steps:
1
In Illustrator, go to Window > Swatch Libraries > Other Library.
2
Select the Swatch Library .ai file you’ve just located.
3
Click “Open” to install.
4
A new panel appears with your new Swatches Library.
Tip: To avoid installing your brushes every time you open Illustrator, click on the hamburger menu on the top right of your Brush panel and select “Persistent”.
Attention: We’ve noticed Illustrator can take a bit longer to load when starting up. Choose your “Persistent” brushes wisely and avoid having tons of Brushes and Patterns selected with this option.
