1.166 FAQ-828 How do I export graph or layout as AI?

Origin's SVG default is to treat text objects as a block as opposed to treating individual characters in the object as separate elements. This is generally preferred by users who edit their SVG export in Adobe Illustrator. However, you can modify this behavior by doing the following:

1. Before export, open the Script Window (Window: Script Window), enter the following, then press Enter:

   SVGTC = 0

2. Export your graph or layout as SVG, as described above.

For information on the system variable @SVGTC, see this page.

Copy Page vs. Export to SVG

Sometimes user would right click on a graph and choose Copy page, and then paste it into Adobe Illustrator for further editing (It does not support OLE). It is an easy way if you want to edit sub-elements like axis title inside AI. It is because Copy Page internally creates an EMF format file (in clipboard) and then paste it into AI. On the contrast, if you Copy Graph as Image, the whole graph is a single element.

However, AI draws EMF in a different way from Origin and thus Copy Page way has many limits. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you export graph as SVG format instead for editing purpose.
