You should be able to do it in the trial version, but you won't be able to save what you do.
"Import vector files" is one of the design options in Studio but I haven't used it.

Did you buy it? And if so, is it good, does the program do what you want to do?

I am a big embird fan, I use lots of forms of clipart as well as vector, but I don't auto digitize I only use vector as another form of clipart..as vector offers good designs for as example line art drawings to embroidery, so I'm not sure I understand you when you say you don't want to auto digitize but you don't want to trace the lines either, surely its either auto or manual ? regardless of the software used ? just to praise embird further, if you buy it from secrets, you gain points, I purchased it in parts to gain the points and free designs offered, ended up with enough points to purchase iconizer free, so worth considering :-) big hugs from London xx
