Hello jimmy;

We would use PowerPoint graphics, and Save As .emf:

Or you could look into different converting software:

Hope this helps,

Another question - do you know how to change the default editor in TIA Portal to something other than MS Paint.  It would be much more convenient to right click graphic>edit>editor of my choice

Split from MS Paint will not save .emf format - what now?.

I found the solution in another thread.  This little trick should be more widely known.  Apparently, there are settings for opening and editing in Windows, and just changing the default program in the Default Apps or file properties window isn't enough.  This program allows you to easily change both settings:

Now my editor of choice (Inkscape) opens directly from the TIA Portal Edit button, which saves a lot of time.
