    Hi JV. If you're getting this message you're not converting the bitmap image to a vector shape and I very much doubt you'll be able to using any bitmap tracer, Inkscape, Xara or VectorMagic on this image. Xara 3D requires vector shapes which can then have bitmap textures applied. Converting your image to a vector shape, apart from hand tracing it is going to be all but impossible.

    actually that is just the sort of image that inkscape is very good at tracing into solid vector see attached which you can open in inkscape - I have deja vue this was all said 8 years ago

    Already knew it can be done and that it needs to be saved as a .EMF file. It shows in the video I posted what all needs to be done. Problem is I can not drop it into the Program with out that message popping up. so what did I do wrong?

    Its obvious it can be done. is there a Program that works with Xara 3D so I can do this?
