I don’t really know of any solution off the top of my head. It would really be nice to have something like a “Project Stub” with all the metadata

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to place parts of the meta data on the art-board? So it will be visual, and changes when the metadata changes.

And now we are talking automatic placing information on the art-board.
I am looking to place the file name onto the art-board.
It should change if the name changes.

If you know a solution, please tell me.

Thanks,
Marchel

I work for a company that uses metadata to pass valuable information about the file down the line to catalog services.. information such as (tags about the content, what original assets were used in the design, etc…)

Grant,

It is just a layer of protection for your files. If you distribute files online or work multiple people it comes in handy.

From a designers perspective if you are working on a project and get a couple of eps and illustrator files, it is easy to contact the original illustrator if you have questions. The artwork you get from a client always seem to be two or three times removed from the original artist, and trying to go back the chain through the client isn’t always the more productive task.

From a Illustrator perspective, you safe guard you files somewhat from copyright infringement. This won’t always help someone that is determined to take your work, but it is a start.

This may be a dumb question, but what is the purpose of adding metadata to illustrator files? Who would use this option?
