I am new to Illustrator. Wanted to prepare some 2D drawings, then edit them in Rhino and finally extrude to 3D. The problem is that when importing to Rhino (ver. 5) I cannot see the curves styles that are applied in Illustrator (strokes, transforms…).
I tried different export options and the closest I got is to export to DWG and then import it in Rhino. However, even then if more than one stroke is applied to a curve, the import fails.
And is there any option to make them surfaces instead? Say, these lines drawn in Illustrator have 1 pt width (by the way, is it possible to set millimeters as default units for stroke widths, etc.?) and I would like them to appear in Rhino in the same way - surfaces with defined width rather than no-width curves running through the mid axis.
Coming back to the first question - thanks! That is what I was looking for.
Regarding the thickness, I meant something different. But I just realized that the option in Illustrator you have mentioned before is the solution: Object -> Path -> Outline Stroke. After that all the paths from AI are now closed curves in Rhino and I can easily prepare them for 3D printing.
