Vector illustrations in Revolution

[Stephen Barncard]

I've been a MacDraft user since 1988. It can export in a few formats, 
but the only one that it saves or exports that directly imports into 
Rev is Enhanced PICT Export from MacDraft and that's a bitmap 
graphic, not vector.

On import Rev will ask if you want to import as a PNG (cross 
platform) or PICT (not cross platform).

Another approach would be to save out of MacDraft as DXF (a vector 
based text format description language) . Anybody up for a a 
DXF-to-Rev object translator?
