algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Output lines to Illustrator?

So I have finally (almost) completed my first project in GH! 

Now I just need some help to make some pretty 'process' drawings for my portfolio.

With the help of the community here, I've made a simple definition (attached) that draws pseudo random, gem-like shapes. I've then used a simple scoring/folding process to turn them into jewelry from sheet silver.


I've only made 2 prototypes, and just output them as .bmp's and traced over them in illustrator for my templates.


I would however, like to be able to output a large batch of the 'random' drawings in .ai format for documentation purposes.


I thought I had come across someone who posted something regarding the VB script that was needed to do this but now I can't find it. It seems rather simple but I don't know where to start. Please bare in mind I have zero experience with VB, but I'm willing to learn!


Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks all.

It would need to be scripted, but here's a start:
