Can´t open .ai files in XD

[lordjaje]

Hi!

I have been using XD on a Mac and had no problems opening up illustrator files, which was super useful. 

Now I have switched to a Windows 10 machine, and suddenly I am not able to open any of the .ai files in XD. Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you!

Hi, thank you for the answer. 

However, I don't have Illustrator so I cant work around with the provided suggestion. 
Is it the case that it does not work on PC at all, as when I was on a mac I had no problems importing the .ai in XD?

Thanks, 
J

Sorry for the delay in response. Would mind trying importing AI file in XD and let us know if that works. If it doesn't please share a screenshot of the error you get.

Hi Rishabh, 

importing rather then opening the .ai files worked! 

That is great, thank you!

Best,
