    Looks like adobe has finally set its eyes on copying CadTools plugin. CadTools is still better for anyone that does technical graphic design professionally multiple times a day/week. But as an included "free" tool this is better for people who are learning or who rarely need to spec out their work in detail

    • @LauraCoyle
      @LauraCoyle Місяць тому

      I occasionally get that error too, and recently there has been an issue with Fresco documents that contain placed images failing to send. You can try removing images, or as a last resort, export as a PDF and remove the clipping masks inside. Also, you might be looking at the "raster effects" resolution setting, which is different than resolution. Whatever you send to Illustrator should arrive with the same dimensions as the original art. Here is a video that helps explain how Illustrator treats resolution: ua-cam.com/video/FHlcg9sBqx8/v-deo.html
