Question

Fresco export PDF, opens in Illustrators with rectangle Clipping paths in each layer group

Hi, I am using Fresco to draw and I usually export them to PDF and open the artwork in Illustrator on my iMac to continue editing them. But everytime, I will have to cleanup the layers first by removing all the 'clipping paths' that is auto generated in each group of layers you have. So imagine if you have 30+ layers< you will have to go one by one to remove the clipping path manually. Is there a workaround this?

Last time I checked, Vector in Fresco is not true Vector that we are used to in Illustrator, it creates shapes rather than paths.

If you are only using the Vector tools you'd be better off using Illustrator for iPad then exporting or directly opening that in Illustrator on your desktop.

Not sure what you mean by true vector, but Fresco exports to paths just like in Illustrator and we can edit each paths as much as you want. I prefer to draw in vector but drawing on Illustrator for Ipad is not really as easy or the same with Fresco. All is fine except for the clipping paths that is automatically created in each layer/group when exported. If this is some kind of bug, Adobe should fix it.
