It looks like I can export as a svg, and the GIS department would then export as a png. Is there a better way to get the clean lines of a vector file, imported into ArcMap?

Maybe you can export from illustrator as an AutoCAD file .DWG ?

and in Arcmap

I am working in Illustrator, opening up a 20 x 20 svg file, copy the vector into the svg file then exporting as a svg. ArcMap can upload, but it has been hard getting the clarity of a vector.

I don't understand all the copying and pasting here.

Also: why do you first export an SVG which will then be converted to PNG by another department?

Can you post screenshots?
