If you need the structural design of the layout, which you want to use in EngView to continue with production — for example, cut a sample or to design diemaking tools — you need to export this information from the Illustrator (.ai) file.
The exported file is an EngView drawing (.evd) file.
NOTE: The procedure that follows exports an Illustrator file as an EngView structural drawing. After the export, the two files (.ai and .evd) are not connected. This means that changes in one of them are not reflected in the other file.
