Hi Michael,

could this be from the origine of Inkscape as a Linux application maybe? Anyway it doesn't solve my problem and I don't want you to work on this just for me. And as I said earlier, I can use photoshop for now.

Do you know if this could be solve by using different save setting from Inkscape?

Thanks,
Felix

have you try expression3?

Michael,

unfortunatly, mayura can only import vectors from Ai files, all other available import formats are bitmaps.

So I guess I'll have to keep using photoshop for simple things though.

Thanks,
Felix

I don't know anything for sure about it, but my guess would be probably not.

Hi,

I dowloaded the program and I'm in business, this program can read pdf document exported from Inskscape and save them in AI format which Moi can read.

There are a few variant of of eps format it can read and the one I tried didn't work but as long as it can read something from Inkscape, in this case pdf then I'll be able to use this more or less complicated stuff.

Many thanks Mark, this will save me a lot of work.
Felix

PS. This program(s) is huge, 364 mb!

Hi Pilou,

unfortunatly, Expression as also very limited import options, no svg, eps or pdf, only Ai,wmf and emf. I tried Inkscape wmf format but there is a problem with it. Lastly, I tried Inkscape emf format and Expression loaded it no problem and exported it to Ai 7 and it also work fine with Moi.

I think I can safely say I have a couple of option now thanks to you, Mark and others. I have now quite a few vector program to work with but I think I'll strick with inkscape spiro stuff, I kind of like the idea of creating a rough version of what I want and spiro uses that to generate a pretty nice smooth curve that I can still edit if I need to. Other programs offer bezier curves and the works but it's always difficult to obtain a nice smooth curve especially when trying to reproduce curve from images for example.

Thanks,
Felix

Hi Felix, this helped me in the past, to get an .ai file from Inkscape into MoI:

Stefan,

thanks for your suggestion but for just file conversion like this I prefer to use free software and gsview isn't free anymore on windows.

I visited your doodles page by the way and I was quite impressed.

Thanks,
Felix

Hi Felix,

sorry, i didn't know that GSView is no longer free...

and thanks for you comment about my doodles!

Regards
Stefan

Would love to see SVG support in MOI. Inkscape has strong support/compatibility for this format; can be used instead of AI/EPS.

No Problem!

.46 had ai export. I wonder if spiros were in it yet? Maybe could still be installed a a plug? Or dont know if the ai works either or if you could run both side by side. If it's side by side, maybe you could load both and open it in the older one to save the ai...
