I have no idea what the cause of this problem is, but as mentioned in the subject,
when I tap "Send to Illustrator" on my iPad, it works. It sends the project to my
copy of Illustrator on my Mac. The problem is it shows up as a blank canvas and it
has no layers, simply 1 blank layer.
I have tried
Yet, when I "Send to Photoshop" it works just fine.
The problem is i need to work with vectors in Ai instead of one flat image in Ps.
Thanks for any help!
Hi Rachelle,
Frank said he walked through this with you and you're good to go. Let us know if you have any more trouble.

There is another issue started on this as well. They have not responded with a fix. Looks like one work around has been to delete the image from your image layer. But if that image is essential to your project, then there has not been a fix posted yet.

This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
Thank you,

Hi,
Is it fixed yet?
My client project files are stuck in Adobe Draw and i can't bring the vector file to Ai!! I thought this is the main purpose of this app and if it can't work whats the point? What is this folder named "Mobile Creations" which saves the Adobe Draw files in it but this folder is not visible in the Library panel, and when you go to file manager in creative cloud assets online, there is no option to download the vector file. At least if there is an option or a way to download this vector file and open it manually in Ai would be a solution for now. So much for the wireless technology and mobile revolution, all i know is i need to get my work done on time. I don't wanna waste my time trying to get this sync thing to work, please provide a way to download and open the vector file in Adobe Illustrator for now. It would help.
Thank you.

Adobe Draw 2.0.1 is now available on the App Store and contains the fix for the bug that prevented sending to Illustrator when you have a photo present in your Photo Layer.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
If you are still having trouble with "Send to Illustrator" or "Send to Photoshop", please check the following:
- You have the latest version of Adobe Draw 2.0.1, Photoshop CC, and Illustrator CC. ( The send to Illustrator feature will not work with Illustrator CS6 or previous versions)

- You have the Adobe Creative Cloud application running on your desktop and signed into the same Adobe ID account as Draw . Try quitting and relaunching that application if problems persist.
- You are signed into the same Adobe ID account on both Draw and on your desktop apps, Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC. Try signing out and signing back in on both the mobile device and desktop.
Hope this helps,
Jose

I had this problem as well. My problem is that I have CS6 at home. I have CC for photographers and use illustrator infrequently at home and do not need to upgrade. However, my iPad is logged into my personal CC account and I've done illustrations for work. I'd like to send them to my work CC account where I have and need Adobe Illustrator CC.
But I can't share a project or drawings between my CC accounts to get my files from my iPad to my work computer.
I used to do this all the time with Ideas and had no hassles and now with this setup, it's really frustrating.

Depending on your access abilities at work, you can log in with your personal account at work, grab the illustrations via CC, then log back out of your account.
As long as you've migrated the project or settings to the desktop, you no longer have to be logged in with your personal account.
I do this often when trying to grab my personal settings / preferences at work.
Alternatively, if you're on CCTeams at work - ask your friendly neighborhood IT or SysAdmin to issue you one of the licenses (specifically the one tied to your computer station). You can toggle to that one on your iPad when you do your "work" work, then back to your personal account for your own art.
I actually think this is a better way to go.
If you're on CC Teams at work, there's no reason why you can't log in and do some CC work remotely from home too. Teams rocks - plus you can share your illustration with other people in your team easily.

If I login with my personal account at work, it still won't give me access to Illustrator CC since it would "deauthorize CC" when I log out from my CC Team account at work. And then when I login with my personal account, It wouldn't let me use CC because I do not have CC attached to my personal CC account (Photographer package).
Or Am I not following this.
I may just give it a shot before I leave today and see if I can work it out.

Lemme know how it goes. I'm working with a vendor who has a closed network right now, so there's no way to check CCTeams. I have another client who is really supportive of anyone who can come up with new ways to use CC Teams more effectively.

‌ Hi Frank,
I am also not able to send my drawings from Adobe Draw on my iPad Air to Adobe Illustrator on my MacBook Air. I have deleted the app and reinstall it. I haved checked my sync setting. I have signed in and out of Adobe Creative Cloud. I have closed out Adobe Illustrator on my laptop and re-opened it. My drawing is from scratch without a photo later to delete, as was suggested to another user. It is saving in my assets library, but it places as a PNG or JPEG in Illustrator and not a vector. It is my understanding, from watching tutorials, that once I send it from my iPad to Illustrator, it automatically opens a new file as a vector image. (Illustrator is open when I attempt my sync)
Help!
Yours,

Hi Rachelle,
Sorry to hear about these issues. Could you let me know what version of Draw and Illustrator you have installed? (To find the Draw version, tap the Draw icon in the top left corner of the main app screen and choose "About Draw". To find the Illustrator version, choose Illustrator>About Illustrator from the menu.)
Also, if you're comfortable sharing your work, could you share the Illustrator .ai file that you get with the PNG or JPEG placed? You can message me directly.
Thanks,
Frank

I will try this while I wait to hear back from you, Frank. Draw is 3.2 and AI is 19.2.1
Attached is a little drawing I did in Draw to sync as a vector in AI . . I place it as a PNG from CC . . .
Thank you for any help you can give me! I am fairly new to this, but I am user friendly with cloud storage, finding answers etc and this has me stumped stumped stumped!
