![]() ![]() Try for example 1 unit = 1 millimeter in exporting and opening the DWG. Of course you can define in exporting also 1 DWG unit = xxxx pixels, picas or points, but I guess that's useless, because in common CAD software you must say how many inches or millimeters mean 1 unit. I guess you have skipped one or both of those definitions. When you open the DWG in another program you should define again how many inches or millimeters one DWG unit presents. When you export as DWG 2004 in Illustrator you should define how many inches or millimeters one DWG unit is going to present. ![]() Illustrator's layer structure can vanish as well as all effects. It was the native format for AutoCAD versions which appeared in 2004.2006.ĭo not expect right colors nor stroke widths when you open the exported DWG. As far as I know, Illustrator CS5.1 doesn't know newer DWG versions than 2004. Your Illustrator knows only few of existing DWG versions. But we might still need to tweak the code generated to make sure it’s clean and optimized.DWG isn't a solid thing, it has been changed when new AutoCAD versions have appeared. Fortunately it looks like our tools are starting to go in the right direction. Ai->Canvas Plug-In for Adobe Illustrator The free Ai->Canvas plug-in enables Adobe Illustrator to export vector and bitmap artwork directly to an HTML5. They are many different ways to do the same thing. Any vector shape in Illustrator can be copied and pasted as an SVG, so any AI or EPS file that has vector elements is yours to quickly SVG-ize. SVG really looks like a wild world sometimes. Also, as Dirk Schulze mentioned in the conversation, the new export is not used for Save as (and copy/pasting of path to code editor) yet. You can see the code generated in the codepen, it’s a little bit long and might need some optimization but it works. Under Formats, set Format to PNG and Scale to 1x. If there's more than one artboard in your image, choose the ones you want to output. This pretty much solved the problem of my pattern export. Follow the below steps to save your Adobe Illustrator file as PNG: Go to File > Export > Export for Screens. As it turn out, Illustrator introduced some enhancement to the SVG export which are available under Export as > SVG. Meanwhile, I was chatting with Sara who nicely pointed me towards the right people. The second solution worked pretty well, but it’s a lot of efforts and tweakings. You can see the second method on the codepen. As a third step, you have to use the pattern with the fill attribute. To do so, the trick is to use the viewBox of the exported SVG as the viewBox of the pattern. To do that, check the box beside Use Artboards. For designs with multiple artboards, you have the chance to save every artboard to a different file. To do so, I first expanded the pattern and exported it as an SVG. In the Save as type field, select Adobe Illustrator. My second idea was to export the pattern alone, and apply it directly into code. Apparently, the developers were having a problem with the SVG logo files provided, due to the fact that when exported from Illustrator, the coding in the. My first attempt was to remove the negative values: it did not work. This seems to be a known bug reported on Adobe’s forums: it looks like IE and Edge don’t really like the negative values exported by Illustrator. Also note that if you copy/paste the path from AI directly to the code editor, it triggers the same script that Save as so it won’t work either. But we quickly noticed that the SVG pattern exported with this method would not work in Internet Explorer / Edge. To export our path with the pattern, we first used the Illustrator option Save as > SVG. See the Pen PZKyBw by Stéphanie Walter ( on CodePen. To put it simple: you declare the pattern, and then you use it where you need into the fill attributs. This pattern can be translated into SVG as well with the element. This pattern is then applied using a clipping mask on the top of the path you created. The nice thing about a pattern is that you can then apply it on many different elements. In Illustrator, you can create and use patterns on your artworks. Also don’t copy/paste your SVG paths from AI directly into your code editor. ![]() ![]() TLDNR: for the moment, if you need to export an SVG pattern with Illustrator (CC 2015) and want it to work in Internet Explorer and Edge, use File > Export instead of the File > Save as > SVG. Barcode Producer generates perfect barcodes for retail packages, labels, books, packages, and more with fully vectorized EPS output and outlined text thats ideal for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
