dandyhand Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 New user to Affinity Designer here! When I open .ai files in AD, is there a way for the program to "gather" the pieces of art that were created outside of the artboard?
00Ghz Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I would just make one huge artboard and import that. I think stuff beyond the artboard is AI format only and cannot be accessed directly by any non adobe apps.

Staff MattP Posted March 2, 2015 Staff Posted March 2, 2015 Vlad is absolutely correct. The way that Illustrator writes its files means that the only application that can look at anything placed off the artboard is Illustrator itself - even other Adobe applications cannot get access to that data...
shaneparsons Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 So just to clarify – there will never be a way to accomplish this?
krollian Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 So just to clarify – there will never be a way to accomplish this? You can navigate to FreeHand Forum and ask why Adobe killed FreeHand and if you do not have, enough you can smile visiting Adobe gripes: http://freehandforum.org http://adobegripes.tumblr.com So, will Adobe open its proprietary format? I am afraid that the answer will be a big NO.
