Talk:Exporting to Adobe Illustrator

What about exporting to SVG, which is an open format (unlike Adobe Illustrator)? Andrewpmk 01:34, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Already widely done by Osmarender. If open formats float your boat then feel free to use it. For those of us who use Illustrator, however, exporting to Illustrator format is quite a handy thing. --Richard 09:37, 25 August 2007 (BST)

line 91, needs to be changed from: if ($a=~/<node id="(\d+)" lat="([\d.\-]+)" lon="([\d.\-]+)"/) {
to something like this:
if ($a=~/<node id='(\d+)' \b[^>]*lat='([\d.\-]+)' lon='([\d.\-]+)'/) {
in order to run script with 0.6 version of osm api--Platlas23 10:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

cool

thanks Richard, that's cool. I understand the complaints about proprietary formats, but if you are used to AI you will miss a lot of functionality and usability in inkscape. -- Dieterdreist 01:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I´m dreaming of grouping same things like tertiarys or Residentials. So you it would be done in very short time to create your own style for the map.--Curmet 13:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

svg2ai and planet-files from geofabrik

Hi, I have tried to use the osm2ai.pl-script, with a planet-file, but there are only errors in the stdout. The error-message is this:

Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in multiplication (*) at ./osm2ai.pl line 272.
Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at ./osm2ai.pl line 271.

With an export from osm.org (with the export-tab) there is no problem to do this. Why can't I do this with a downloaded planet-file? The files I have tried are here: http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/germany/

Is there a problem with the script, or is there an error in the planet-file?

Any help is welcome :) --SaPoX 14:37, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Same Error occured to me while using an export from http://www.openstreetmap.org/export - Don't know why, yet. --Mmg (talk) 15:28, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
