Re: How do I "draw inside" a image I have created to drop in art when I cant get the "draw inside" button to highlight and allow this? Do I need to do something to my image first?

You can delete the <Path> if it will help. You need to make sure that the <Compound Path> is composed of just the shapes of the sandals with no fill.

then the image is placed behind the compound path

and then the clipping mask is made
