Install the Illustrator plug-in

1. Before installing the plug-in we recommend you to close the Illustrator® application (if it is actually opened in background). Choose File/Install Illustrator® Plug-in...

2. The dialog box Install the Illustrator to IconWorkshop™ Transfer Plug-in opens (see below). In the Location edit zone (), specify the Illustrator plug-in folder. If you don't know the exact folder path, click the browse button () to choose the folder in a list.

3. If you want to create a subfolder "Axialis" to install the plug-in module (recommended to organize your folder properly), activate the option "Install in a subfolder Axialis" (). Note that creating a subfolder may fail with some compatible applications.

4. Check the option "Install 32 & 64-bit plug-ins" if you have both versions x32 and x64 of Illustrator (CS6 or more).

5. Click OK. When done, a message informs you that the plug-in has been installed.

6. Now you can start your Illustrator® application. For Illustrator versions prior to CS4, the plug-in is visible in Filter/Axialis/Transfer To IconWorkshop. For versions CS4 or later, the plug-in is visible in  Objects/Filters/Axialis Software/Transfer To IconWorkshop. Read this for more info on how to use the plug-in filter.

Notes for Illustrator CS4, CS5 and CS6 users

• If you have recently installed a new version of Illustrator, you must re-install the plug-in (a CS4/CS5/CS6 compatible version is required).

• The plug-in is compatible with versions x32 and x64 of Illustrator (CS6 or more).
