This section only applies to Mac users.

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 the command.

The Import PICT File dialog box opens.

Select the file to import.

Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into an open Vectorworks file.
