: How do I convert an illustrator vector file to a file readable for a clothing pattern software like Optitex I´ve created a sewing pattern in Illustrator and I want it to be readable for Optitex

From the help: oldhelp.optitex.com/index.php/Import_from_Adobe_Illustrator_files

Use the Import From CAD/CAM Files dialog in order to convert an Adobe
Illustrator type file into a PDS style file.

Requirement: The AI lines need to be clean vector lines to define the
shape of the pieces.

Import from AI files is available for PDS and Marker from version 11
only.

This is from optitex.com/learn/


So, try to export as DXF. But with which parameter selections and what data you can assume to be able to transfer properly? Those unfortunately must be asked from Optitex. Probably you lose all flashy colorings, fills and strokes.

Optitex should have a quide for Illustrator users.
