Convert ai to cdr

[breauxlg]

I used the following command
convert /laprime.ai /laprime.cdr
and imagemagick did convert the file, but the output file was very low resolution and low quality. I don't know how to convert ai to cdr and maintain the resolution and quality. I looked at command line parameters, but am just not smart enough to figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Is .ai a vector image (as opposed to raster)?

AI is a vector image. It is infact a special form of POSTSCRIPT that is designed to be readable by the AI program.

You can increase the resolution with -density. ImageMagick is a raster image tool, so if you must retain the properties of a vector format IM isn't the tool for you.
