- I would like to see as part of a FAQ on using Inkscape amongst
Illustrator users. Howto import/export documents between the two and
the
problems we might have (things to avoid). What format is best (seems
EPS
and SVG work partially in different ways). 0.40 has ability to save
as
.ai but gives me an error message on saving so I don't know how good
it
works. Illustrator has heaps of options to save/export files -
anyone
worked out which work best? I will share anything i discover on the
way.
This is not a bad idea - could you start a page on this in Wiki (assuming there isn't one already?) I don't know if we have a lot of people using Illustrator and Inkscape together like this, but imagine that at some point people are going to want to be able to
interoperate,
so this would be good to start capturing tips & tricks for it.
I actually always use Inkscape & Illustrator together when working on marketing materials for the firm these days. Initial work in IS, and then prep for the print shop in Illustrator. Once Inkscape has true CMYK, can do multiple pages, and has direct node editing tools... goodbye to Illustrator! =) I'll check to see if he added anything to the wiki and if I can contribute a little of my personal experience to it, I will. I should be able to get on this and that main page update re: Bulia's awesome 'Tile Clones' in like an hour or so.
