I have successfully exported map layers from SVG to AI by exporting either individual layers or a few layers at a time. I then open the layers up in AI, ungroup them, deleted the boxes and clipping masks, and then line them up manually using a layer I export each time as a reference. It's time consuming but will work. I also found that either odd things happen, QGIS crashes, or memory in AI gets bogged down when trying to export/open a large SVG file.
Another option is using MaPublisher, but it has a hefty license fee. It's basically a plug-in for AI. You could prep your data in QGIS and add your final touches in AI by bringing the data in with Mapublisher. -Chris On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 4:20 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Send Qgis-user mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Qgis-user digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
