    I am trying to import an Illustrator file into Invigorator and I get the message “there were no usable vector paths in this file”. I have tried to use a simple rectangle to no avail. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    Hi Gary,

    It’s likely that you’re saving the Illustrator file with compression, which is why you will get the error message that says “There are no usable vector paths in this file”.

    If you use the “Save As” command to re-save the file, you can name the file again. After giving the file a name, you will see a “Illustrator Options” window. In this window, look for a checkbox that says “Use Compression” and make sure that checkbox is unchecked. Re-save the file, and you should be able to open the Illustrator file in 3D Invigorator.

    Best,
    Edward

    Hi Edward,

    Thanks for the quick response, yes that fixed the problem. I knew it had to be something simple.

    Cheers
