Inserting an SVG from Adobe Illustrator

You can import an .svg created in Adobe Illustrator, and drag-and-drop color, textures and materials just like you would with a .dci file. Vector artwork created inside Adobe Illustrator can also be used to generate Dynamic Tables, Contact Sheets and Color Palettes.

Tip:  You also have the ability to merge, hide, link, and lock .svg parts in the Items Tree. See Working with Parts and Linking Items for more information.

• How to export your artwork from Adobe Illustrator to an SVG.

• Insert the artwork into a Colorway sheet by pressing I.

• Parts of the artwork are listed in the Item Tree.

• You can tint each part using the color palette.

• You can show and hide each part on the SVG from the dynamic table using the Hide icon next to the part in the Items Tree.

• Artwork can be used to create variations.

• As the .svg is a LiveSource, any changes you make in Adobe Illustrator are applied in Colorway.

• Matching layer names in Illustrator to parts in Colorway guarantees automatic update.

Note:  Multi-layer materials are supported when applied to .svg files in Colorway.
