Illustrator into Studiotools?

Is it possible to import Illustrator files into Alias Studiotools?

yes. file > open. this will import the paths only, no fills, no strokes, no layers, no type. text in illustrator needs to be converted to paths via the Create Outlines menu command before it can transfer to studio.

also, the scale of the drawing is generally wrong, hence the scale parameter in the studio open/import options for illustrator data.

generally studio’s eps/ai support is several releases behind illustrator’s, so if you have cs or 10 or 9.0 it makes sense to write down to 6.0 or similar when you save from illustrator.

i don’t know if studio can rip the vector to raster on import for sketching, maybe someone else can fill in here.

thanks!

I managed to import a few files…it was mainly to do with file versions that prevented me doing it before. I’ll try and other options, as I’m having some issues with rendering, etc…I think it’s the scale.
