Use a program such as Inkscape to convert bitmap images to vectors. ->Link

Re: file formats ..
I tried the Inkscape ..I found that you had to complete a trace bitmap and found that the lines turned out doubled or tripled after saved to use it in cut2D ..created a nightmare when selecting vectors
Re: file formats ..
can it be done without the tracing...

You have to trace it somehow, whether it's manually or using one of the many automatic programs. Cut2D can't do anything with a scanned image directly.
