Adobe Illustrator CS4 pictures to CAD files

Hi,
I´ve made 2D drawings i CS4, now I would like to have them in .dxf or .dwg format. I don´t have any CAD program, when i "export" the .ai file to .dxf or .dwg they changes - they dont look the same anymore. Is there any plug-in program to overcome this problem or is there any CAD program that can import the .ai drawings without any changes. I want the .dxf to look exactly as the.ai. I have a pc and work in Windows.
Please help me...

  • The preferences file is corrupt: adobe illustrator cs4

    greetings!
    every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
    "the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
    "the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
    this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
    not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
    an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would e a very very time consuming process for me.
    i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
    thank you

    The problem is that you're not getting rid of the corrupt Illustrator preferences. To do that, go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the entire Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder to the trash (or to another drive if you want to keep it for some reason). Illustrator will then create a new Preferences folder the next time it's started. It's unlikely the problem was caused by swatches files, but if the error comes back after deleting prefs, then you'll need to determine which swatch file is causing it.

  • Can't import Adobe Illustrator CS4 .ai files

    I recently upgraded to Adobe Illustrator CS4. When I attempt to paste an .ai file into iWeb I see only a black rectangle. This was not the case with CS3 AI. It seems that I must now first convert the AI CS4 file into a .pdf or .eps before importing to iWeb. Also, QuickLook does not display either CS3 or CS4 versions of AI.
    Have others encountered these behaviors?

    Are you referring to a Photoshop file with an alpha layer? iWeb and iPhoto do not support those. Nor does several other Apple applications like Preview, Quicklook, etc. Send a feature request to Apple via:

  • Importing Microstation SE DGN files into Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hello,
    New to the forum and was hoping someone could help answer what is likely a very basic question: Can Adobe Illustrator CS4 import DGN files (containing point, line, text, shape, fills, cells and other complex elements) created in Microstation SE? If so, is it an easy process, and what if any data is lost during the conversion? Is the original projection and master units/sub units maintained? I am not familiar with any version of Illustrator, so please be kind (lol). Tks for any help!

    If you intend to zoom in or pan on your graphic, you might make it say, twice the size of your FCP sequence's pixel dimensions.
    If it is static, paste it into the appropriate video template at the size you require.
    Illustrator and Photoshop are far better at scaling when compared to Final Cut Pro.
    The pixelization is probably because that section of the Timeline needs to be rendered.
    This indicated by a colored bar at the top of the Timeline. A green bar indicates that you can view that area but it will not be at full quality until rendered.
    Make sure all render options are checked on:
    Consider also: your image is rendered to the pixel dimensions of the FCP sequence and the Canvas always shows a lower res proxy image to better enable real time playback. To view the output of Final Cut Pro as it really is, you need an external calibrated monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV.

  • Import Template from Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to import a template (a letterhead that i made) from Adobe Illustrator CS4 into Pages, which I use for writing documents. So far I had no success in doing so. The formats supported by Illustrator are png, bmp, dwg, dxf, emf, swf, jpg, pct, psd, tif, tga, txt and wmf. Furthermore there are Illustrator formats ai, ait and eps and fxg, pdf, svg and svgz.
    I hope theres someone who can help me...
    niels

    The advantage of a vector format (such as PDF) over a bitmapped format (such as PNG) is portability. Right now, for example, you might be using your letterhead to print to an inkjet printer. Some time in the future you may choose to have a professionally printed stationary printed using the same graphic and at that point the PNG file may not produce high quality output whereas the PDF would. Also, in many cases the PDF file not only creates higher quality output but also results in smaller file sizes.

  • I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.

    I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.
    I get an error message when I try to update saying:
    Updates could not be applied. The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. Then, try updating again. If the problem persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
    Error Log: Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
    What do I do with information? I tried updating several times. None of my Adobe products will update.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And I fail to see what compatibility issues you are trying to fix. Illustrator allows to save to a variety of formats, including older versions of its own AI files...

  • Cannot reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hello!
    2007, I have bought Adobe Illustrator CS4 from your website.
    I used it few months and then I put it aside. First, the cd kept asking for a serial number and the one I still had since 2007, did not work. One must buy a new serial number, i have heard. How is that even possible or fair in any way? SO THE 170 Euros were payed for a time-limited product? Is this milk!?
    Anyhow, now the cd doesn't even "run". It keeps showing that "the Installer database is corrupt", after have clicked "run" and then "install".
    Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely R.A.A

    Whatever you heard regarding having to buy a new serial number is false information - your license remains valid as long as you paid for it yourself.  If your disc is not loading properly you can download the installation thru the page linked below.

  • Will adobe illustrator cs4 work on a macbook retina?

    i'm considering buying the macbook pro with retina display. but will my main application, adobe illustrator CS4, display correctly on the machine?  does anybody have experience with this? i'd be very thankful for you replies.
    best,

    The question is really will CS4 work with the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system.  As long CS4 is compatible with Lion it should work on the new systems.

  • Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

    Using a new PC with Windows 7.  Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found.  You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right."  Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4.  What next?  I appreciate the help.

    I have a disc in the same box  that says CS3.  I thought that was an older version.  Should I try installing that disc first?  It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help.  I appreciate it.

    It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update.  Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

    Hey all,
    When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
    I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
    Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
    I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
    I would very much appreciate your help.
    Screenshots:
    Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

    I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
    Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.

  • Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

    Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

    Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS4 - Schnittmarken beim Drucken anzeigen und kein Überdrucken?

    Hallo, ich mache zzt ein Praktikum und muss Werbung erstellen. Diese Plakate entwerfe ich im Adobe illustrator CS4. Habe eine benutzerdefinierte Größe eingegeben und losgelegt. Als ich dann zum Drucken kam hatte ich ein Problem. Ich würde mein Plakat gerne A4 drucken und das macht es auch aber ich muss es ja dann noch zu schneiden und da fehlen mir die Schnittmarken, diese habe ich nämlich nur an den 4 Ecken. Außerdem fehlt mir immer die Hälfte meiner Buchstaben, bzw. meines Bildes, d.h. wenn ich ein Hocker auf diesem Plakat habe dann habe ich nur eine halbe Rolle und genau da muss ich es zusammen kleben d.h. ich müsste mit der Hand den Rest dazu zeichnen. Habt ihr vielleicht ein Tip wie er mir meine Schnittmarken anzegt und auch mit ausdruckt, und das nicht die Hälfte meines Bildes bzw. meiner Buchstaben fehlt?!
    Danke im voraus
    LG Julia

    Vielen Dank, das hat mir sehr weitergeholfen
