Question

Export SVG to Illustrator - path errors

Hi!

I'm trying to export my Animate illustration to Illustrator but with no luck. I export with SVG legacy option.

My illustration looks different in Illustrator after the import. It loses many paths, some become much thinner.

Is there a way to fix it?

Hi ceznov

I'm not sure how you exported your Animate illustration. I downloaded your file (kuter.fla) and exported the boat illustration via

Menu > Export > Export Image (Legacy) ... and selected as File Format > SVG Image (*.svg).

Opened this kuter.svg in Illustrater (to be more clear: I placed it in an empty Artboard) and it looks like proper vector.

Hope this helps

I just realized that exporting with Optimize for Character Animator option makes all those errors.

Unfortunately only with this options I can keep my layer names...

Ok, so I am trying to figure out the problem. I stripped my project file to two problematic layers (1 and 2).

When I export to SVG (with Optimize for Character Animator option to keep my layer names) something goes wrong,

and the layers are broken. But if I hide one of those layers (or delete) the problem magically dissapears.

It looks like those layers have some strange impact on each other but I can't figure it out... anyone?

You should just be able to copy it and paste it into Illustrator.

I can copy and paste the whole image as one layer. Also it is copied as bitmap.

I need all the separate layers I have in Animate to translate to Illustrator and

to keep those as vectors.
