SVG import : bug illustrator ?

Hello,
While importing SVG files that contain ressources who are resized in the SVG, there is a big problem.
Objects are correctly resized, but not the outline (stroke-width) !!!
Does someone had the same problem ? What can I do ?
In the example, you can see that the outline should have a whidth of 1 cm (0.1 * 10), but it's only 0.1 cm ...
Example code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [
<!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
]>
<svg version="1.1" id="Calque_1" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" width="10cm" height="10cm" viewBox="0 0 283.5 283.5"
style="overflow:visible;enable-background:new 0 0 283.5 283.5;" xml:space="preserve">
<g transform="scale(10)">
<rect width="1cm" height="1cm" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:0.1cm; stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"/>
</g>
</svg>

Hello,
Maybe someone will be interested by my solution.
In order to avoid outline that are not correctly resized I simply had to vectorize those before importation ...
So long

How can I rectify horrible thick lines after SVG import into Illustrator

I have an SVG file that displays fine in InkScape but erroneously displays lines as huge thick blocks in Illustrator. The SVG file was created originally by Sibelius 7 music notation app. The only reason I would consider buying Illustrator would be to import Sibelius generated SVG files for graphic manipulation. So I would dearly love to sort this out, or it's a big no-no to Illustrator. Any help really welcome! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Scott, I'll try to upload at least some iamges. Is there a awy to upload the files here?
This is the output in Illustrator, followed by the same file in InkScape
And the same in Inkscape:

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

InDesign, Edge Animate and SVG import

I created an Edge animation whose ultimate destination is for an iPad app authored in InDesign. To avoid any font issues and to make this viewable in all iPad flavors (retina), I imported three lines of text as well as a text logo as SVG files from Illustrator in to Edge Animate. All fonts were converted to paths:
http://www.ampersandmiami.com/edge/
The link above is what Edge created when publishing for web. It is indeed SVGs and they do appear as such in my desktop machine, on my ipad and on my iphone when I view it using Safari. When I pinch and zoom in, all is rasor sharp. Perfect.
Here is the issue…
I unzipped the .oam file Edge creates for import into InDesign. Just to make sure, all my SVGs are there in the images folder. Edge did not create raster versions of any of them. So far so good...
But, when I place the .oam file in InDesign and preview the app on my ipad using the Aobe Content Viewer, the SVGs are rasterized. I zoom in and they are pixelated. Not good for retina ipads.
Is there a way of importing my Edge animation and retaining the SVGs as vectors and not making them rasters? Is this an InDesign limitation?
Any thoughts?

Unfortunately not at the moment. This is a known issue with Edge placement in InDesign.

Importing layered Illustrator files

Hello
I'm on an Intel Power Mac. Premiere 4.1.0
Importing layered Illustrator files does not work properly. It doesn't provide the pop up option box, to tell you what you want to do with the layers - either bring them in individually, or as a sequence, etc. All it does is simply imports the file with all the elements grouped in one file. Photoshop layered files are OK.
I have done everything Adobe has suggested. Please see following -
1. Done a disk permissions check, with disk utility
2. Deleted all Premiere preference files.
3) Uninstalled software
4) Did a cleanup script (provided by adobe)
5) Reinstalled software - to Premiere 4.0 (tried this version and still no good).
6) Uninstalled and reinstalled, clean script, just to make sure (still no good)
7) Upgraded again to premiere 4.1.0 (still no good)
Has anyone had this problem before?
Many thanks
Danny

The problem is that the Help file, and any marketing literature for that matter, is not a good indication of what the software actually does or does not do. Danny, I realize that you want to torch Adobe HQ over this issue, but the fact of the matter is that mistakes happen. And I can guarantee you 100% that when you installed the software and accepted the EULA, you acknowledged that those mistakes do happen, whether they are software bugs or erroneously-advertised features, and you absolve Adobe of any liability. I'm certainly not suggesting complacency--feel free to call the BBB or organize a class-action lawsuit or get the pitchfork-wielding mob to storm the castle--but I think it's a waste of time and energy. Adobe's not going to cop to any bug or missing feature--end of story. And the folks you're talking to at customer support really have, at most, a rudimentary understanding of the software. If you want to be active and proactive, file a feature request/bug report. It's not a guarantee of satisfaction, but it's more likely to bring you to that point than any of the above options.
Not to belabor the point, but the way the Help file is written...
"...you can import a layered Photoshop or Illustrator file as a
sequence, enabling you to set up graphics in these applications and
then import them into an Adobe Premiere Pro project."
...suggests that both layered Photoshop files and Illustrator files will be recognized as sequences when imported. No, it does not specifically say "layered Illustrator file," but from the context of "as a sequence" implies that the layers would be recognized and imported thusly. At present, all Illustrator files, whether they are layered or not, are flattened on import. I would be inclined to believe that this is not so much a bug, as it is a feature that was planned but not implemented, and somewhere along the line the memo between the programming group and the marketing group to this effect was misplaced. Whichever it is, it doesn't matter: this is not a workflow option.
Here are a couple of legitimate workflow options:
Export your AI file (don't use Save As, use Export) to a PSD file. You can maintain the layers as well as text editability by doing this, and the layered PSD will subsequently import as a sequence into Premiere Pro.
Stop using Illustrator for video graphics. Photoshop really is better suited for video graphics, in my view, than Illustrator is. Illustrator is fine for building logos and such, and even doing some text layout that's not possible or at least not easily done in Photoshop, but vector artwork is a poor match for the world of video. Your vector artwork (whether its sourced from Illustrator, Photoshop, or wherever else) is automatically rasterized when imported into Premiere, so I feel it's better to start in Photoshop where you can control this to a greater extent than you can in Illustrator.
As I've mentioned previously, use After Effects to build a comp from your layered AI file, and either render a movie out for use in Premiere, or use Dynamic Link to keep it live between AE and PPro.

SVG import doesn't scale "stroke-width"

Jumpy, choppy animation (imported from Illustrator)

Hello, I am having a problem with some vines I imported from illustrator having very choppy animation. Every other animation in my project thus far has been smooth, except for the vines which I just want to move slowly and slightly as if blowing in the wind. I did the same effect for some leaves in the background which animate fine, so its something to do with the vines in particular.
I imported all the shapes from Illustrator (the vine shafts, leaves, and thorns) which came into flash as "drawing objects". I then turned every piece into individual movie clips, and then combined everything further into 4 seperate movie clips I could animate. The animation is very simple, just rotating back and forth ever so slightly accrost 250 frames.
I uploaded the .swf in question which you can download here: http://www.filedropper.com/splashscreen10
I appreciate any and all help! Thanks!

From the sound of it, I'm having this exact same problem. Does anyone have suggestions for how to solve this problem?

Importing adobe illustrator files into powerpoint. (Vector)

How can I import vector Illustrator files into Powerpoint, so I can edit them later. I have tried PDF (won't work), WMF text breacks up and scaling makes the text crap!
EPS looks rubbish.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Need to edit the graphic colour and change update text.
Then you can't build it in Illustrator; at least not all of it.*
...or create in Power point...
.That's your answer. Ultimately, Powerpoint-editable = Powerpoint native.
...which is very limited!
Are you just assuming that, or have you actually tried to do something and found it impossible? Plenty of drawing can be done in Powerpoint, and text is text. What exactly are you trying to do?
*If you are running Windows, there are ways to get straight Illustrator vectors (no live effects, blends, meshes, etc.) onto a Powerpoint slide using Paste Special. Forget text though, seeing as you need it live and editable in Powerpoint...you'll have no choice but to set it in Powerpoint.

Importing from Illustrator into AE

Hey there,
Having some issues when importing from illustrator to AE. I have a load of text grouped into words in AI and when I import the file into AE I chose 'composition - cropped layers' so I can move around each object in AE. However in AE the layers show up in the project window as little black boxes. When I open the composition of the AI file it's just a blank composition with all the layers in the timeline window. I don't know why the text isn't showing up?
In AI all of the layers are individual layers (they aren't all under layer 1 in the layer window). Can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Abi

Hi there.
I really have no idea what the issue is.. I did the following. Copied my text from notepad, pasted it into AI, changed it to 'arial', TYPE > Create Outlines, ungrouped the text, grouped each word, went to LAYERS > OPTIONS > Release to layers (Sequence), in AE I imported the AI file as 'Composition - Cropped Layers. Then it just came up as the blocks. As a simple test I went through the same process with a new file with simple the word HELLO and it worked fine.
The only cause I can think of is maybe because I copied the text from Notepad? The font I originally chose in AI was Helvetica Neue. Maybe the font wasn't applicable to AE?
Strange!
Thanks,
Abi

Stroke Bug Illustrator CS6

I contacted Adobe in June 2013 about a problem with the stroke profile items. I was told that there would be an update available and no updates were available. Will this be fixed anytime soon? Is it fixed in CC? In my photo I show the same exact stroke with different profiles applied. I have yet to find any efficient work arounds. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks!

Colors in PNG image go crazy when imported into Illustrator

When I import certain PNGs into Illustrator CC, they look like this...
I've tried reinstalling the program and changing the document from CMYK to RGB. Not sure what else to try.

Any warnings about the color profile when importing the image?
What happens when you open it in Photoshop and then resave it as a TIF or PSD before importing in Illustrator?

Smart Object import from Illustrator to Photoshop ( CS5 )

Hello !
Here's the thing:
I have an icon in Illustrator and I'm designing a website in Photoshop so I copy and paste that icon as a Smart Object in Photoshop and everything is perfect but when I resize that Smart Object is not perfect anymore.
*The document is 200 %
-The first icon is the original file I import from Illustrator and It's 100%
-I resize the second icon to 70%
Now look at those gray light lines around the second icon. Why is that happening ? How can I fix it ?
Thanks !
PS: Sorry for my English I just speak a little bit.

Hi, again, Sunniess.
Now look at those gray light lines around the second icon. Why is that happening ? How can I fix it ?
You may be sorry you asked. I didn't have time to bore you with the answer to that earlier.
The gray lines are being generated in Ps, so this should be of interest to anyone who works with small images in Ps.
When you export from Illy using the clipboard, Illy rounds to the nearest whole pixel. A rounded rectangle is created in Illy measuring 73x30 pixels. If you scale the rectangle 70% in Illy, the new rectangle measures 51.1 x 21 pixels. But it pastes into Ps as 51x21 pixels.
If you import the 73x30 pixel image into Ps and scale 70% , instead of 51x21 pixels, you will get either 52x21, 53x21, 52x23 or 53x23 pixels, depending on where the Reference point locator (highlighted below) is set in the Transform Toolbar. The gray lines are the extra pixels.
Why the extra pixels? The extra pixels are a form of dithering. When you scale the 73x30 imported image 70% in Ps, you get 51.1 x 21 pixels, same as in Illy. But Ps doesn't round to the nearest pixel. It creates fractional pixels. In the screenshot below, the rectangle is rendered 52x21. The lines at top and bottom are sharp because the pixel height is a whole integer, 21. But the width is 51.1. There's a decimal fraction. The gray vertical bar at right is how Ps represents fractional pixels. The .1 of 51.1. Ps can't actually make .1 of a pixel black. So instead it makes 1 pixel .1 black by assigning 10% opacity.
If the Reference point locater is set as below, you get a different result. Now the rectangle renders at 53x23 pixels. You now have gray rows of pixels at top and bottom, as well as both sides. The height is still really 21 pixels, but since it is transforming from the center and it's an odd number, Ps splits a pixel, assigning .5 black pixels at the top, and .5 black pixels at the bottom, which it represents with 2 rows of pixels at 50% opacity. Similar thing with the ends, except they are lower opacity because they represent smaller fractions of a pixel. This pretty much reproduces what your icon looks like.
Below is a closeup of the above rectangle over a blue background. The rows of pixels aren't actually gray. They are semi transparent black.
The point is, how the Reference point locator is set can have unexpected influence on the results, particularly when downsizing small images. And will be most noticable on straight vertical or horizontal edges.
As if that weren't enough, there are options in your General Preferences that affect the results of resizing images.
I copied and pasted your icon into Ps, then scaled it 70% at two different settings.
The top is Bicubic, the botttom is Nearest Neighbor.
A significant difference. And this interacts with the Transform Locator setting to further confuse the issue. But if you resize in Illy you avoid all this.
If you resize in Ps, it's good to be aware of this stuff. This all happens in Ps. It really has nothing to do with Illy. If you must scale in Ps and get noticable rows of fractional pixels, it's easy enough to select the rows and just delete them. Or fill them. That's essentially what Illy does when it copies to the clipboard.
Your English is fine. I hope mine makes as much sense.
Peace,
Lee
