Is there a way to select all of the linked files in a document and delete them? I've exported a Corel Draw file into AI and everywhere there was a fill I now have a linked file. I need to get rid of these and put in AI fills. However there are dozens of them.

Thanks,
David

David,

open the Links palette (Window>Show Links). It allows you to select the embedded/linked files. Select them through the palette and delete them.

I tried that but because all of the links came through as missing or broken I wasn't able to select any of them.

...seems like you're right, David: one just cannot select a broken link trough the Links palette.

I'm not aware of any method of deleting all broken links... Maybe, someone else could jump in and drop their two cents?...
