"This new powerscript Asset Library is brilliant.- This is how Adobe should of done it". ~ Darren
Adobe Illustrator comes with a standard Library which stores your files online. While this is useful there are some issues:
- Assets don't import as fully editable artwork, they are often grouped and clipped and require manually breaking them apart, Much like a placed PDF file. So its hard to use these assets
- No control of how the files are placed, you can't specify a fixed location or layer
- You have to trust the cloud and use cloud storage. What if the internet is down?
- Hard to leverage your existing assets already setup on shared folders
