An error occurred while saving the comment Matt commentedIn Illustrator post-2015 the default was changed to add linked objects when dragging from CC libraries to the artboard. Please provide an option to change the default behaviour back to creating embedded objects by default.
Related points:
1. Alt select\drag each asset is cumbersome and degrades functionality when you only ever want embedded assets & use them a lot in workflows.
2. Even worse, Alt select\drag doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it works first time, but often when performing the correct actions it still creates linked objects, sometimes multiple times. Eventually (sometimes after 5 or 10 attempts at getting an embedded copy from the library, it failing, deleting the linked object, repeat) it does seem to create a linked object but the entire process is at best infuriating, flaky, and inefficient, and at worst unusable, because of this.

Thanks for the suggestion but I checked and for me it's not related to caps lock (unfortunately as had it been I could have worked around it until it was fixed and save much wasted time and frustration).
