Is there a possibility to export in this format with the availability for editing the layer symbology in a graphic software?
Normal export to .ai doesn't work?
My initial thought was you had a transparency applied which rasterizes everything below into a single raster element in teh output file but...are you saying the same Ai file opened in your version of Illustrator does not work as expected but does for your graphic designer whe s/he opens it in Illy?
Can you post the problematic file? Or a non sensitive problem file with the same issue?
I am not having any troubles editing the layer symbology going from ArcMAP 10.2 to Illustrator CS3. I export out using .ai and each layer appears as a sub-layer in Illustrator. At this point I can selet the individual entites and make changes. Which graphic software program are you using?
Hi William,
if I use .ai in 10.1 I can't do that in illustrator CS 6?
I have tried .eps as well. What setting do u use in export?
I use .ai to export from ArcMAP 10.2. I have been using this since version 8 with no problems. And my graphic designer is actually using Illustrator CS6 with no problems editing the exported map.
As mentioned I couldn't do that. What does your graphic designer to get access(ungroup ... ?) (or does he nothing?)and how do you export?
My settings:
Yes this is what I use. However, I have both of the check marks turned off on this page. I also use a resolution that is divisible by 72. So click on the "Allgemein" button and change your resolution to 360 for "low" resolution or 1224 for "high" resolution. Once the .ai file is created, open Illustrator and each layer in your map should be listed as a sublayer in Illustrator available to edit.
i am using Gis 10
When i export ai. pdf. only english font showing.but other text fornt not showing
Wow, never heard that one before! Windows should use the fonts that you have loaded into your system, and publish them to the pdf file. I would eliminate any "English" fonts in the map, which might include any point symbols as they may also be a "font". Make a copy of your original map and do the testing on the copy.
Have you applied any transparencies?
I'm also the illustrator guy?
