jarombra Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I have been yoked to Adobe Illustrator for many years simply because I take 2D vector geometry out of Rhino, export it as *.ai, and then work with it accordingly. I would LOVE to be able to export *.ai Illustrator files out of Rhino and be able to work with them directly in Affinity Designer, but every time I import an *.ai file exported from Rhino, there's simply nothing in it when it opens in Affinity Designer. Hopefully someday, this will not be the case, so I can ditch Adobe for good. Viva L'Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You need to export as a PDF from Rhino. AD's AI import relies on the embedded PDF stream in an AI file. Rhino evidently doesn't export an AI file with the extra PDF stream. Pixlers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixlers Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Maybe you can try this http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/svg-export and then import the svg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do see that a other users are requesting DFX and DWG import support in AD, so that's just as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
