Exporting to IIlustrator / student license
-
I purchased a student license to develop forms that are made into charcoal drawings after much revision and cleaning up.
Should I be able to export to Illustrator in vector mode? I have been able to make PDF files that can be scaled...but that is as close as I get.

Eport a PDF or EPS file from File>Export>2D Graphic. Illustrator can open a PDF file, and the EPS file is identical in content. When you open a SU-generated PDF or EPS in Illustrator, the image is combined into a single entity. I have found that right-clicking on it and selecting "release compound path" will let the individual objects to be edited. I am not an Illustrator expert, so the exact terminology escapes me. Note that the PDF or EPS export has no textures or shadows.
Printing a SU model to PDF with a PDF printer driver like Adobe Acrobat generally produces a raster image file.
