I recently had an issue with Lineform not working for a week or so that has since been resolved, but it has really got me thinking about protecting myself for the future, in case some day Lineform becomes unsupported or even just because a project needs a feature that Lineform doesn't yet have.  I prefer Lineform over alternatives such as Adobe Illustrator, but if I ever need to edit my files without Lineform, AI is probably what I would be using.

I'm not a graphics designer, but I have developed some nice looking logos for several companies so far, and I'm going to be doing a few more very soon... all with Lineform.  My question is, what is the best file format to use when saving my original files so that I can not only open them in Illustrator, but also edit them?

Specifically, I want to be able to edit on an individual object basis... like modifying text or changing colors of certain elements while leaving the rest of the image untouched.  I also want it to maintain it's vector format so that the new editable image is completely scalable up or down, and maybe even bring it back into Lineform some day.

Is there a file format that Lineform will save to that maintains the editability of individual objects within the graphic itself, other than the .lineform proprietary format?

That may be a stupid question, but as I said, I'm not a graphic design professional so I'm not familiar with details like this yet.  I only recently learned (about a year or two ago) the difference between vector and raster images.

Thanks for your help!
