The Plug-ins & Scratch Disks PanelFrom an architectural standpoint, Illustrator has a core engine, and the rest of the application is built using plug-ins. Illustrator's Plug-ins folder contains all of these features plus additional files such as startup files (see more about startup files in Chapter 1, The Illustrator Environment ). Additionally, third party plug-ins like MAPublisher, and CADtools are stored in this folder. The Plug-ins preference simply keeps tabs on where this important folder is (Figure C.14 ). Figure C.14. The Plug-ins & Scratch Disks Preferences panel lets you specify multiple disks for memory-intensive operations. |
