[Qgis-user] Vector Affine trouble

[Mike Shand]

Hi Rutger,

If you have successfully converted your Adobe Illustrator file into an 
ESRI shapefile (using Avenza MaPublisher or DXf export ?) please first 
check the quality of the linework in QGIS.  Any Illustrator vector 
bezier curves will probably have been simplified to straight lines.  To 
avoid the lines being too generalised use the Add Anchor Points option 
in Illustrator several times if necessary to ensure the curves are 
replicated by short straight line sections.

If you are using MaPublisher 
<http://download.avenza.com/Downloads/Docs/MAPublisher/MP90_TutorialGuide.pdf> 
there is the option to add the projection/datum.

Another alternative using Dxf format is:
