Can't edit imported EMF graphics without quality changing

I am trying to import EMF graphics into PowerPoint that have been exported
from our CAD program. If I try to edit the EMF graphics at all, the image
looks like it turns into a low resolution bitmap. Everything is very jagged.
I have found that if I import the original EMF file, click on it, Save as
Picture, and then save it as an EMF, this EMF can be imported and manipulated
just fine! All we do to the graphics is to change the brightness to -100% to
make it a black & white image.

Anyone have an idea what's going on and if there's something I can set to
prevent these extra steps? Thanks!

After chewing on this one for awhile, I don't have any ideas.
But if you can send me an example file, I'll be happy to have a look.

specifics of the problem. If I don't trust my memory, I can't ask you to
either.

Also, mention which version of PPT you're using.
