Hello!

I'm new to AI.

I have an AI file created by a graphic designer that I want to use one object from. The file has about 4+ objects. How can I pull from this file just the one object (shape) that I want?

Thank you!

NewAEUser,

It is far better to keep all objects as vector artwork and just copy and paste them into the one document.

Hello @NewAEUser,

I hope Monika's suggestions helped with your workflow. If you need to directly export that asset you can also try right-clicking on that object and choosing the option for Collect for Export > As Single Asset and then choosing the format you want to export as (https://adobe.ly/3FLjo17).

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.
