Importing An Image

    1. If possible start with a high-quality (3.2 megapixels or greater) digital photograph of the item or ask the company’s engineering department to make a screen capture from a CAD modeling program for you. For the best final drawing quality the image should be at least twice as large as the final art.

    2. Use the File Import… command (Ctrl+Shift+I) to load the picture.

    3. If the picture is very dark, use Xara Picture Editor to increase the brightness to expose hidden detail.

    4. Create a second layer and name it “background”. Send the picture to the background layer and turn off editing for the background layer.
