[REQ] .ai import

[Karlfucious]

I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create a sketchup importer for adobe illustrator files. The reason is because Photoshop allows you to export paths as adobe illustrator files. That would make creating face me components really easily instead of tracing over photos in sketchup.

Thanks,

How about this?

Or you could also contact the NXT folks... they implemented a nice tracing algorithm in their Tree Maker.

I would recommend that you use a different program to create your vector lines. One that specialises on vector images which then most likely will allow you to export to .dwg or .dxf.

Making an .ai importer would not be a quick and easy task. The .ai can be in the shape of a .pdf file format if it's saved with .pdf compatibility. But it might not.
