Inserting a photo
Inserting a photo
(OP)
Can you insert a jpeg or bitmap into a SW drawing.
I'm using 2006 and when I try to insert an object it just gives me a box with a ref no. in and acts like a hyperlink. I would like to have the photo seen on the drawing.
Thanks

I tried inserting it as you said but in the Part, this wouldn't let me make a drawing so I inserted a little model also, and my picture dissapeared.
I must be doing something wrong.

Devon’s solution woks but, the object that is inserted appears to be a word doc, also it not easy to resize or edit the image once it is in the SW drawing. I did not see an improvement in the image quality ether.

Scott,
You can't save a jpg into a Word doc? I do it all the time.
In SW 2006, I can't insert a jpg, only a bmp.

RE: Inserting a photo
I know others have never had a problem doing this, but I have never been able to. I have tried every "image association" suggestion that has been suggested in previous threads to no avail. Although I just found out that in SW06 I can use Insert > Object succesfully with BMP files, but still not other image formats. Strange.

RE: Inserting a photo
I know you can insert a jpeg into a Word doc... thats not what I was saying. I was saying if you insert an image into a word doc, then place that word doc into SW SW sees it as a wrod doc, not an image.
In 06 I can insert a jpg, bmp, tiff, just about anything I want into SW and have not had any problems with it. It might not list it in the "Create New" but I do get the option to use from file. I do get under "Create New" "Paint shop pro" which is what I make all my images in.
CBL,
If you windows OS can recognize the files and has a external app to open them with it will allow you to place them into SW.
