How can I move vector graphics from Keynote to other applications (like Adobe Illustrator) using the new version? I had no problem in Keynote 5. I really like using Keynote to make images and if I can't figure it out I will have to switch over to Illustrator full time...
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Dear Gary,
You answer seems inappropriate to me, and I hope to many others.
Keynote 5 was doing this very well.
It is so frustrating to see that the V6, that uses natively vectors shape, cannot export them by a simple cut and paste.
As Aliciade stated, removing this feature is a true handicap for Keynote.
Why would profesional designers use or promote Keynote if this software is no longer able to properly interact with other design tools?
Apple has lost its common sense.

Then your using the wrong software. If your need is to create vector drawings then if you have Keynote version 5.3 use that, it is compatible with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard through to OS 10.10 Yosemite, alternatively use a dedicated vector drawing application, there are many to choose from, two are mentioned in this discussion.

Keynote does not have this feature, use an appropriate application that meets your needs.

The purpose of Keynote version 6 is to; "create and deliver beautiful presentations", so states the Apple Keynote webpage.
Keynote is not disadvantaged in the least when creating presentations by the lack of exporting vector drawings.

Probably because it does in fact work very well with respected professional tools, it can import media from Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Numbers, Excel, Indesign, Final Cut Pro, Garageband, Protools ..............

People have been saying that since 1976.
Keynote 6 is unable to output vector graphics, unlike version 5, you will need to use Illustrator.
Any idea if they will fix this anytime soon? The functionality of Keynote is greatly reduced with this feature missing.
Keynote is a presentation graphics application, not a vector graphics drawing tool. There are many simple graphics applications around, iDraw from the Mac App Store is one.
Hi,
one possibility to export vectorgrafics is to use PDF.
Export your presentation to an PDF and open it in Illustrator. Now you can work with it like it was created in Illustrator.
Only Textelements could be destroyed.
Cheers
Vector graphic export?
