Allow pasting from Illustrator as Vector

When I copy assets from Illustrator and then paste into Figma, it pastes as a raster image.

Keep it as a vector when I do this workflow.

    I guess it’s a Version Bug. Working with an older Version like 28.0 solves the problem. Sad. But true.

    You can copy the Illustrator vector object and paste it into Figma as a vector object when there is no text object in the Illustrator file. If there is a text object in the Illustrator file, then no matter whether you copy the text object or not, the vector object will be pasted as a raster image. This is a new issue that requires fixing.

    thanks it worked for me

    In Illustrator > Preferences > Clipboard Handling do you have “Include SVG Code” checked? I’ve copied vectors from Illustrator and pasted into Figma for as long as I can remember.

    this save me hours!!!
