Re: XaraX feature request..better AI support
You will never be able to have bevel, shadow, some transparencies, some colour fills and blends. Its just the same when you Export from AI you will never be able to import any of the 3D effects, blends, some of the brushes that are used and various other effects.
Many programmes have different ways of handling transparencies Xara's is one of the best and with AI having there way of using trans. there is no way in the world that you can ask a filter to recognise all the different aspects of the drawing programme. Things will be better when Pro comes out in january with an import of PDF but many of the effects that you are talking about will be rendered as a bitmap on the page and will not be able to be edited. All you have to do is to look how InDesign handles transparencies and when converting to PDF it renders the trans as a bitmap and you have to design your artwork so that you have the type (fonts) to the top and that is between the same company with smart objects.
Design is thinking made visual.
