Configuring the copy and variant attachment setup

The copy and variant plugin configuration for attachments applies to these IPLMF application component plugins:

  • Adobe Illustrator

  • CLO-Vise

Each plugin contains its own setting. The Adobe Illustrator setting creates a new .ai attachment when copying the Style record from the AI extension only. The CLO-Vise setting creates a new .zprj attachment, including all the associated Overview and Colorways images, when copying the Style record from the CLO-Vise plugin or from the Infor PLM for Fashion environment.
