try changing the appearance of your image . I Select the image then go to the appearance menu change it to shadow (pointy) or blackout. That should give you a clearer outline, you'll still have some smaller cuts inside the outlines but they shouldn't matter as they'll be discarded anywayl Once you h...

Ok now I've seen the message! In the properties window that opens there are tabs at the top - fill, stroke etc. Make sure that you click on the stroke tab and that it is set to solid fill. Can you post a screen shot of what your window looks like - we can probably tell from those settings where you ...

SCAL and Design Studio are, as I see it, two different options -...
