This critical .ai import bug in vectorcraft demonstrates a fundamental misinterpretation of the Adobe Illustrator file format. The system incorrectly parses a page-sized white fill, intended as a background element outside of optional-content layers, as an active artwork layer. This leads to significant rendering and export issues, including invisible white artwork and forced opaque backgrounds on exported assets. For a product aiming to replace Illustrator, this directly impacts professional workflows where precise layer management and transparent exports are non-negotiable. The market implication is a severe limitation on interoperability and output quality, undermining its utility for design professionals who rely on accurate file handling and clean asset generation.
