Hello,

 

I'm learnig Adobe Animate and I'm facing the following challenge.

 

In Illustrator I create two layers and create a simple infographics. One layer is for the background and the other is for the object that I plan to Animate.

 

But when I import the Illustrator file to Animate there is only one layer (Layer 1).

 

For your info: When I import the Illustrator file (File/Import to stage) I choose the following settings:

  • Select all layers
  • Animate layers
  • Place objects at original positions

 

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

Hi, as kglad suggested please update your Animate to Animate 2020 in order to work with Illustrator 2020 files.

 

Thanks!

Hi, indeed. If I use Animate 2020 (suddenly I have Animate 2019 and Animate 2020 in my Creative Cloud) I can import files saved as Adobe Animate 2020 CC.

 

Thank you all.
