    multiple instances (windows) of illustrator?

    johannecker Community Member

      Hello,

       

      how can I start multiple instances of Illustrator?

       

      I'd like to have two independet instances of illustrator - for each monitor one window, so I can drag and drop elements between both monitors.

       

      My system:

      - Windows 7

      - 2 monitors (in extended desktop mode)

      - Illustrator CS2

       

      Thanks!

       

      PS: I'm currently comparing Illustrator with Inkscape. And with Inkscape multiple instances are possible. So I would be surprised if Illustrator doesn't come with this feature. Have I missed something? With Illustrator CS5?
