Love this approach in theory, but I’m having some challenges with the practice. First major obstacle is that Illustrator CS2 on the Mac doesn’t seem to want to link another .ai file via the Place dialog. It will happily insert the content of the .ai file into the View.ai, but updates via the Module.ai are not possible (because there’s no link). I suspect that one could get around this by creating PDFs, or image files of all of the modules—but that seems like it would require quite a bit more work overall.

Great idea though; just wish I could make it work for me!
