• Preservation of the layers to and from AutoCAD • Preservation of AutoCAD hatches as pattern fills • Preservation of exported ellipses rather than conversion to spline • Import of polylines with arcs as simple beziers • Unique IGES import • Unique AutoCAD R12 export file format support DXF is a general format with many inconsistencies among applications. CADgate provides alternative conversion calculations that may be suitable if you are not satisfied with Illustrator’s import/export. We suggest trying the demo or using our 90-day money back guarantee to test CADgate on your files for the best evaluation.
