About importing artwork
You can import artwork into Illustrator using the Open, Place, or Paste commands, or by dragging and dropping: - The Open command opens artwork in a new Illustrator document. Vector artwork is converted to Illustrator paths, which you can modify using any Illustrator tool. Bitmap images can be modified using transformation tools, such as scale and rotate, liquify tools, and image filters. For more information on using the Open command, see Opening existing files.
- The Place command places artwork in an existing Illustrator document in one of two ways: by creating a link to an external file or by embedding a copy of the file in the Illustrator document. For more information on using the Place command, see Placing artwork.
- The Paste command transfers artwork from the Clipboard to the current Illustrator document. For more information, see Using the Clipboard to copy artwork.
- Dragging and dropping transfers artwork directly from one document to another. For more information, see Using the drag-and-drop feature to copy artwork.
