File > Export > Illustrator

Exports some or all of the curves in your model to an Adobe Illustrator version 8 file.

Free curves, isoparms, surface edges, trim edges, and curves-on-surface are exported as degree 3 Bézier curves.

Procedure

Export an Illustrator file

Export to Illustrator Options

Geometry

Active – Exports only the selected geometry.

All – Exports all geometry.

Horizontal/Vertical

These options apply only if a Perspective window is active. They specify a horizontal and vertical size (in points) for the exported image. The selected window in Alias maps to those dimensions in Illustrator.

Scale/To

These two values apply only if an Orthographic window is active. They specify a scale for the geometry. Scale is the number of units in Alias, and To is the corresponding number of units in Illustrator. For example, 1 to 1 does not scale the geometry, while 2 to 1 reduces the size of the geometry by half.

Curve Fit Distance

Specifies the tolerance used when fitting the Alias curves to the Illustrator Bézier curves. Increase this value for faster performance and lighter Bézier curves.
