Previously it was properly working. Like the objects which are grouped in AI stays grouped while importing in Corel. But now it is importing in single layers, by which it get some harder to work. Does there is any option to group the on the time of saving the document?
Thank you Bobby,
Yes I do the same ...
However no matter what it imports as a pdf.
Usually I just accept this however for this project I really need to maintain the original layers.
If I am missing something its really hidden
I also have the same version of CorelDRAW
OK, I'm confused. I thought you were having problems trying to control whether Illustrator AI files would import into CorelDRAW on a single layer or multiple layers. That seemed to be the context of your response to my comment from March of 2021.
The problem is the Illustrator art importing as PDF content? That usually happens when CorelDRAW is trying to import Illustrator files in a format too new for it to support.
Whoever is giving you Illustrator AI files needs to take a couple steps more than just hitting the "save" button when creating/saving the AI files. That just saves them in the latest version format. They're probably giving you files saved in Illustrator CC 2023 format with PDF compatiblity turned on. CorelDRAW can't import the AI 2023 data, so it reverts to importing the PDF data instead. That's better than nothing actually. If they unchecked the "Create PDF Compatible File" option in the Save dialog box you would end up with an AI file that would not import at all.
They need to click on the Save As command and under "versions" in the dialog box they need to choose an older "legacy format." Out of habit I usually choose version CS6 when saving AI files to be imported into CorelDRAW. The "Legacy CC" format delivers some hit and miss results.
Even if they can give you proper CS6 version AI files you could encounter plenty of other issues.
