I’d love to be able to upload a vector illustration and have Line-us trace it for me.  
Or connect it directly to Adobe Illustrator?

Michael Zöllner has created software that allows you to draw svg files on your Line-us - it’s available for Mac and Windows [here](https://github.com/ixd-hof/LineUs_SVG/releases) (you may need to click on Assets). There is also a plugin for Inkscape [here](https://inkscape.org/~Line-us/%E2%98%85line-us) but I’d suggest starting with Michael’s app if you just want to draw vector files.

Thank you very much Rob, this is great.  
I’ll start with Michael’s software.
