PICT files were first produced by MacDraw and other object-oriented drawing programs. When you import a PICT file with the Import PICT command, multiple bitmap objects may be created, which can be edited individually later. When you import a PICT file with the Import PICT as Bitmap command, the image is imported as a single bitmap object. The Trim, Clip, and Shear tools cannot be used on the imported bitmap. Bitmap objects imported with these commands automatically have PNG compression applied.
To import a PICT file:
Select File > Import > Import PICT or File > Import > Import PICT as Bitmap.
The Import PICT File dialog box opens.
Select the file to import, and click Open.
Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into an open Vectorworks file.
