      I just upload an sample of ai file for your testing.
      VS can not read some styles/effects properly such as gradient mesh, extrusion, warp/distortion and symbol sprayer.
      Blend is also strange.

        @ash-f Added this to the backlog.

        VS will not read extrusions for now (not extrusion effect in VS).

          Actually extrusion effect is converted into an fixed vector object in other apps such as CorelDraw, XD and Xara.
          This can be ok for warp/distortion and symbol sprayer as well.

            @ash-f Was this AI file saved with PDF compatibility?
            Because what I suspect is that CDR, XD and Xara import the embedded PDF, with it's converted paths,
            while VS defaults to reading the AI part of the file.

              @ash-f Nevermind, the file was saved without PDF compatibility, which means CDR, XD and Xara read the AI file itself.

                I guess blend effect seems to be correct after all, just its position is wrong.
                What I thought strange under the object with blend effect may be the gradient mesh object.

                  @ash-f said in AI file compatibility:

                  What I thought strange under the object with blend effect may be the gradient

                  I will try to fix the blend / mesh and warp issues.
