evtonic3 Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Is there any documentation on groups in sublayers inside a main layer not translating the same in AD? When looked at closer all the sublayers in a layers get flattened in AD into shapes and the groupings are lost. Quote
Staff MattP Posted December 14, 2015 Staff Posted December 14, 2015 Hi evtonic3, If your question is related to the import of Illustrator .ai format files, then you'll find that no program can open an Illustrator file and maintain its layer structure - only Adobe itself has documentation for the .ai format and it doesn't even make an attempt to read it in any of its other software. Instead, all other programs open Illustrator's 'compatibility' PDF that is inside the .ai file - and this does not contain layer information... If you output a PDF from Illustrator as PDF 1.5 standard (Acrobat 6) or higher then you would keep the layers in the PDF file and Designer would correctly open them. Thanks, Matt Quote
