Hello, you have to export your Adobe Ilustrator file (*.ai) in Format 5 !!

then it should work....
if you still have trouble, may it will be a good idea to send me a example of your AI file . . so i will be able to find out the problem.

Hey,

I've exported my .ai file as format5 but still struggling to import it into showeditor. Could I send it your way to have a quick look?

Thanks so much!

AI is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats. The .ai filename extension is used by Adobe Illustrator.

Illustrator is a very interesting program because it requires a different mindset than painting on a canvas. Your workflow is often based around layering elements and creating interesting mediums from that layering (Think construction paper layering).

I use my XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro [link removed] drawing tablet with screen for sketching things out in Illustrator with the blob brush. it's good for the odd sketch and doodle.
