Interface
When importing AI88 files, the software converts polygons to shape objects.
You choose an option in the Shape Import dialog to set how the shape objects
are created:
Single Object All polygons in the .ai file are converted to Bezier splines and
placed inside a single composite shape object.
Multiple Objects Each polygon in the .ai file is converted to a Bezier spline
and placed inside an independent shape object.
Exporting to Adobe Illustrator
File menu > Export > Select File To Export dialog > Save As Type > Adobe
Illustrator (*.AI)
You can export shapes that can be converted to
Bezier splines on page 7726 .
The software exports these shapes in 2D only. It uses only the X and Y
coordinates of the shape's local coordinate system, discarding the Z coordinates.
Procedures
To export a file to Adobe Illustrator:
1 Select one or more shape objects.
2 Choose File menu > Export.
