Working with Illustrator AI files

Selecting layers

The Layers panel lists the objects in a document. By default, every Illustrator document contains at least one layer, and each object in a given file is listed under that layer.

When an item in the Layers panel contains other items, a triangle appears to the left of the item’s name. To show or hide the content, click the triangle. If no triangle appears, the layer contains no additional items.

Note: You can expand or collapse all groups and layers using the AI Importer context menu. Right-click to display the context menu, and select Expand All or Collapse All.

• Selection column Controls whether items are selected for import or not. If an item is checked, you can select that layer and specify import options; if Edit is not checked, the layer is dimmed, and you cannot specify any import setting for the item in that layer.
• Object Type column Anicon indicates what the Flash object type located on that layer will be when imported, and, if visible, that the item is selected. The object types are:
  • Text
  • Path
  • Group
  • Movie clip
  • Graphic symbol
  • Image
