Insert Object
Insert Object
(OP)
Guys and Gals,
Can't insert a tiff image in SW. Comes up with a icon everytime I try to insert it into a drawing. And yes, the icon box is unchecked. I think it's a bug, because it worked before.
Help!
SW2004 SP4.1
OS=XP Professional
Office 2003

RE: Insert Object
I think you have to start a new sketch, then insert. It is the only way I can get it to work.
RE: Insert Object
New sketch or new view? I tried creating an empty view and does not work. Even tried lock view focus on it. still nothing.
Also, I inserted (insert, picture, from file)the image into Excel and was sucessful. Then copy and pasted into SW, also sucessful. But what happens when I try to edit the image later on........It says that it is a static image and can't be modified. I need to have this an option because Engineering changes that might happen down the road.

RE: Insert Object
Maybe your file has lost it's associativity to the app. Redo the association and see if that helps.

Yes, I do want to edit the actual image. But when I double click on it, it won't open the software.
Here's the error:
"Can not activate a static ActiveX object"

RE: Insert Object
I think that's what I'm going to have to do. But wil I lose resolution down the road on the image?
Our old drawings are manual and scanned in to a tiff image and want to paste them into SW on our new company format(SW templates). We have imaging software to modify the drawings if need be, but do not want to lose image quality.
I have done this in the past and had no problems in SW until SW2004.
Can someone this this real quick in SW2005 for me, please?
All the best,
