Bruce Kieffer Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 When I export hidden line renderings as EPS, and then import to Illustrator, all I get is an image file, not lines. With 2014 and prior I got lines. What do I need to do to make this work with 2015? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 13, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2014 Lemme see if I can get my hands on Illustrator and I will take a look. It looks like the export settings have changed, its possible changing the export to have no preview may give you lines only, where in 2014 you couldn't choose to have no preview at all, but that's a blind guess at first glance.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 13, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2014 They come in to Illustrator CS5 as modifiable paths for me, regardless of which export option I select for EPS Preview options. Tested with exports to EPSF from Vectorworks 2015 on OS X 10.9.5 and Windows 8.1. Could you send me your VWX file as well as the exported EPS files please? Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Will do, but it may be my version of Illustrator. It's CS 5.5. This did work for me with VW 2014. Just tested with a new VW 2015 file. That works. Must be some file conversion issue. Please take a look at the file I sent you. I just copied the objects and pasted them in a new Vectorworks file, and then the EPS works. Also, as I said in my email, the "bad" created a 225 MB EPS file, so it won't go by email.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 14, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 14, 2014 Got it and confirmed the same here, Illustrator is choking on the EPS exported from Vectorworks 2015. Submitting this as an issue now. Quote Link to comment
trashcan Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Is this possibly still an issue? EPS exports and PDF exports (I'm not using /A-1b) come in as images, not vectors in VW20 and AI20. Quote Link to comment
