Using Rhino 7 with Affinity products (Designer) on Apple Mac

Hi All
I’m building a 2D logo in Rhino and struggling to get Affinity Publisher or Affinity Designer to read the exported Abode illustrator file (Ai) file. The illustrator is an export option in Rhino and Affinity programmes does read illustrator Files, so I’m not sure what the problem is?

My guess is the Rhino AI file is too old for your down-process tools.
I’d suggest using PDF set for Vector output instead.

Any luck?

Since a few days there is a 2.4 affinity Update available. This Update includes dwg and dxf export functionality maybe try this formats for your wirkaround (of course it depends on what you want). The import functionality is also available.

Use PDF or SVG export. Like @John_Brock said, AI export is old.

And if I remember it correctly in Rhino 7 PDF-export will preserve the layers and colors for Rhino. It could be another way around also, so that it was actually the SVG-export. I do remember that one of those exports was slightly better.

Hi,

Thanks for all the advice, the PDF methodology worked fine : ) Thanks John. When I upgrade my affinity I’ll check out the dwg and dxf formats.
