Does anybody have a Sketch to Illustrator conversion workflow? Reason I am asking is because at the place I am working at a lot of our documentation is done in Illustrator and I have been asked to deliver spec material for the pattern library there in Illustrator format (ai and pdf). I don't want to do that.

I have a technique where I have key commands set up to convert single lines of text back to blocks and another key command for releasing clipping paths. It's a bit more cleanup than I would like to do. Anybody have something better?

This is the script I am using to merge lines of text: ajarproductions.com/blog/2008/11/23/merge-text-extension-for-illustrator/
What I have tried:
Copy from Illustrator to Sketch
Save as pdf import to Sketch

The issue with this is that text blocks break apart. Objects like buttons come into illustrator with many clipping paths which make cleaning up a mission

Probably SVG is the best format to pass files between Illustrator and SketchApp.


Sketch - Export ARTBOARD in SVG
Illustrator - Open, select all, ungroup (couple of times)
Illustrator - Clean a bit
Illustrator - Export/Save as .AI
