Help sought importing .ai files (into XDP X10)

[Christine Farrelly]

Sometimes they get imported but off the viewing area, try zooming out to make sure, they can also come in very small.

I use AI and EPS files quite a lot. When as Shiphen reports that nothing seems to import, tis easy to look at the layers panel and say, yep, nothing imported. Whether on the page or off it, the objects on a successful import will still show up in the layers panel.

I would say 90% of the EPS files I deal with have to be opened in AI and saved back out to get them into XDP.

I have attached Egg's example AI file simply saved as an EPS. It doesn't open/import in X9, don't know about X10. Please note that the File Tab does show the name if you use the Open command.

You could also just try a straight drag and drop into Xara. Although I don't see it working any differently from the IMPORT dialogue.

I used Designer Pro X10 Import > Illustrator CS2 (*.ai *.eps) and it imports OK but there is a rounding on the inside of the A that should not be there.
