>>image to shaper for tracing …
You can set the image as a background in the Editor, turn on "See Background"
in the shaper, then trace over it. One problem with this method is if you
change the view by zooming or panning, you will lose alignment with the image.
Once you start tracing, press "[" to save the view so it can be restored.
I think it is generally easier and quicker to do manual tracing in Corel Draw,
then export the shapes as an .AI file for use with 3DS.
