Re: AI file import...help!
by Jon Okerstrom on Jan 3, 2009 at 3:03:33 pm

Hi Mike,

We may need some more information about your logo and the file to help.

Without it, I can offer the following general suggestions:

1. The best practice for your Illustrator document is to make your elements filled solids and to put each element on a separate named layer, then import by layers in Invigorator. This helps a lot with organizing your project.

2. Do not use blends, transparencies or bit-mapped elements at this stage. They won't be read into the model.

3. When the elements come in, they'll all be at the default depth and position settings. This means your objects may all be there, but you can't see them because they're "inside" other elements. Selecting individual objects and changing depth or z position to move some forward or backward will reveal what's there.

4. Also be sure compression is turned offf off when you save the file. Because you're seeing something in Invigorator now, this probably isn't your issue.

Does this help?

Jon
