Once in the gdb, georeferencing tools can be used to rectify if necessary. Using a process similar to the GP tool to import a KML file, or as the author, aaddision, suggests the CAD import tool.</P><P></P><P>Conversely, if I export an AIX then I should be able to import this file back into a file geodatabase and have the geometry in the correct CRS....perhaps involving a CAD like "world file" to be associated with the .AIX.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Mar 2020 22:29:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/import-directly-from-illustrator/idc-p/921361#M32 MōnoSimeone 2020-03-06T22:29:48Z
