Hello,
Cool 3d won't import wmf files i create with PhotoImpact11. There is no error but file is not impoted when i try to load them in Lathe object or graphic object windows.
I tried different color formats and different sizes but it doesn't work.
What's wrong ?
Thanks in advance.

If you wish to import the vector path of the WMF file, you cannot use PI because PI only generates raster type WMF file.

There are 2 ways to solve the issue, one is to use the Convert to Vector feature in Lathe Editor, the other is to use some vector graphics editor to recreate your WMF file in vector type.

If you choose to use another vector graphics editor, remember to close the path in the vector type WMF file before you save it.

You will find the Convert to Vector button in the Lathe Object Editor to do the convert process.

Hope this helps.

H.T.
