Useless without the ability to export/import vector files.

New Here ,

I downloaded Fresco to use on my iPad as a simplified program to help with designing some vector art work I need to do.  Realized I can't import vector drawings from Illustrator. It's pretty useless without the ability to import existing work and why would a program that has the ability to create vector graphics not have the ability to import or save as a vector?  Frustrating.  Very frustrating.  I'm going to use Inkscape at this point.

Agree! The same problem. I tried to work with Illustrator on iPad, but the ink brush works very laggy, making intuitive drawing impossible. Fresco have pretty vector ink brush flow, but I cannot import my  Illustrator file – really frustrating, I will switch to Affinity Designer to complete my drawing.

You can export as PDF which can then be edited in Illustrator etc, shame about import options, however.

I would love export/send to Illustrator to NOT have lines converted to outlines.

The original poster wanted to go from Illustrator to Fresco rather than the usual Fresco to Illustrator workflow which works well by Send to Illustrator (apart from the lines being converted to fills).

Vector in Fesco creates shapes rather than true Vector lines, which is likely the reason that things don't work moving from Fresco to Illustrator.

If you have a subscription which includes Illustrator why not use the iPad version of Illustrator, the iPad/Desktop versions move quite well between devices.

Yes as others have indicated there may be some limitations on the iPad version. In which case, do what you can on the iPad then transfer to desktop to finalise images.
