        Hi Kus,

        "Transforming" means to turn a raster image into vector based format. Since SU doesn't have a raster-to-vector conversion tool,you have two choices:

        1. trace around the image with the Line/Arc/Freehand tools to "vectorize" it
        2. use some external software to make it vector based then import it into SU to fine tune and go on working on it (note that sometimes this can take as long as to manually do it like in #1).

        Gai...

          The image you have shown looks pretty straight forward to trace if you follow step 1 that Gaieus posted.
          Just import the image and away you go.
