  • Error: no usable vector paths?

    Posted by Festival on July 14, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    I should probably start out by saying that I’m a huge newb to Invigorator. I got the plug-in for a project I’m doing for my job. I’m basically trying to take an Illustrator .ai file with a few different layers and extrude them to different amounts. But, everytime I open a .ai file, I get this error:

    Attention!

    There were no usable vector paths in this file.

    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Hi Festival,

    Try doing a “save as” and unchecking the “use compression” box.

    Also, convert any text to outlines and be sure your file includes vector rather than bit-mapped elements.

    Does this help?
