No you can't directly import an AI file into Xara with any version. If you have Illy of any version save as a Legacy file and it must be version 8 or under and then it will open with Xara. Sorry don't no much about your version of Xara but it is an old import module so I would think it could. You also may have problems if your drawing have any special effect in it like blends, transparencies and the like it just wants plain old vectors. I hope that helps.
