nyarch22 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I am importing images from illustrator to vectorworks 2008 which have a transparent background (to be specific the image is a tree with many tiny leaves). I know I can import it or even copy and paste it then change the fill (in vectorworks) to none and have the white background disappear. Here is the problem: When I do this the entire background never disappears, there is always a thin white trim around the tree branches and leaves which doesn't exist in the original image... I have tried to import in every manor including .dwg and .dxf, .tif, .png, .jpg, etc. Edited March 8, 2010 by nyarch22 Quote Link to comment
Tom4 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I don't know what else you have done but I click on the background and select none for the pen before doing the same to the fill. Hope this helps Tom Quote Link to comment
