This seems to be a bug with the current Beta. Thanks!

I found out when your document size in Illustrator is bigger than your graphic elements size(width and height), the Expression Design can’t export it to XAML correctly. The solution I used is to adjust the canvas’s width and height close to your graphic object’s width and height in Illustrator first, and then open it in Design.

It seems like Blend use your document width and height as XAML root’s Canvas’ width and height.

Anyone got the same issue?

Yes, you can 1) copy/paste from Design into Illustrator or 2) you can export to PDF from Design and then open the PDF in Illustrator.

However, gradients with some transparency have trouble. Transparencies will be converted to whites or elements with gradients that have some transparency will be rasterized. You can choose which one you prefer (rasterize or whites instead of transparents) in the Export dialog box.

Bringing elements into Expression Design doesn’t show these issues and it works fine.

Thanks, that was helpful.

Can I export from Expression Design to Adobe Illustrator?
