Well, I'm fixed. The only thing that I could see that was different was that I was using grayscale. I made a new image anyway, so it may also have had something to do with the old image. At any rate, it's working. I wound up with a lot of jaggies that I will have to work on. I guess I'll turn the resolution way up. It's a mechanical part. But yay, it's working.
Thanks again, Simon
For future reference the program that I was having problems with was CorelDraw X5.
P.S. Feature Request - either a basic vector import or an autotrace function, or even a simple trace function that would replace the image with the traced one would really help prevent jaggies. Maybe a simple pixel editor if you are doing something internally like setting up a 3 dimensional array with X and Y elements set according to the number of pixels in the image and the Z depth set according to the grayscale value from black to white. I'm not sure how it's actually inflating I'm just throwing out a guess. At any rate, a user-definable resolution pixel editor that allowed you to set the color (colour) value from black to white would allow you to smooth out or even sort of voxel sculpt. Curvy is already most of the way there.
Please don't take these as criticisms.
Thanks again,
