AutoNewbie Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Is it possible to insert a regular office file, like a word or excell file as a thumbnail type image? I'd like to be able to include small, yet legible, images into our submittal docs... Thanks, AN Quote
ReMark Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I know you can insert an Excel spreadsheet without a doubt as I have done so. As for a Word document I'd have to check. I guess it's possible but I cannot atest to this 100%. Quote
darn-net Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Go to menu "Insert" and select "OLE Object...". You can start from scratch or browse for an existing file. The alternate to this would be to right drag the file from Explorer on to the drawing. You get a pop up window with several options. You then can stretch the document or image. If you share you documents with others outside you office you will also need to send the external file with the .dwg. I'd suggest reading more about this in the help file under "OLE (object linking and embeding) if you are making this a company standard. Quote
