File > Import |
Graphics files in the Metafile format can be imported from virtually any Windows program, including AutoCAD and word processing programs. The Vectorworks program supports the enhanced version of the Windows metafile format.
When you import a Metafile file with the Import Metafile command, multiple bitmap objects are created, which can be edited individually later. When you import a Metafile file with the Import Metafile 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 Metafile:
1. Select the command.
The Import EMF File dialog box opens.
2.Select the file to import.
Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into an open Vectorworks file.
