Imported vectors normally come in grouped. you can double click on them

(possibly multiple times) to edit in place or you could just ungruop

them and edit them when they are back to basic drawn vector elements.

Note, while you are ungrouping you may want to move some groups to other

layers before completely ungrouping all the layers of the groups. It is

not uncommon to have many nest groups which I remove on import not only

to be able to edit them but also to reduce file size.
