Can Xara edit ai files?

have to say that appears to open fine in my xdp15.1 - if you are still using version 10 then your import filter may be outdated ?

I'm using Photo & Graphic Designer 17.0.0.58775 DL x64 Mar 17 2020.
I did manage to get it to work in a round about fashion but will try with the original again later, just to double check.

P&GD may not have the same import features as XDP...

I think you can work with this. If you get an warning about the file created with a newer version, just click OK.

I am not sure how big you plan to use this. When I zoom in, both in Illustrator and Xara, on the chain part of the logo, the outline is pretty rough. It looks like it might have been a bitmap trace. If you plan to use it large you may need to do some cleaning up.

Also as I suggested, the shapes are lines, so if need be use my method of select the object, switch to the Shape Tool, press Tab to find the start node, and hit Enter to close the line and make a shape.
