Hey Rob, don't know every other way to it. but your answer does not give her an alternative of solving her problem I think she is new in CW like myself so maybe we can lessen the sarcasm and help her if we can. Hilda sorry I can't help you but I'm sure someone has a better explanation why you can't.

I may not help much, but I think you need to open the pattern editor first and draw your wine bottle in it. Then you can place it into a project. I maybe wrong about this but it makes sence to me.

Rob's answer was correct. It is currently not possible to convert a vector path into a pattern. The only options that are currently available would be to re-draw the item in an external photo software: photoshop, Coreldraw, paint, paint.net, etc, and save it to an image file, which can then be imported into the software.

Rob's right - can't make a pattern out of vector paths.

You can, however, save the project as an mpc, name it "wine Bottle", then when you want to place that bottle into a new mpc, simply open it, select all, copy it, and then paste it in the new project.

BTW, the only time Rob gets sarcastic is when you criticize his designs

Sorry Then an explanation why (Because its vectors) i don't see the sarcasm in that. I think he was being very helpful
