Company Logos
(OP)
I have a company logo in a few formats i.e. TIF, JPEG, GIF and would like his logo to appear on my drawing border, with it eventually being plotted out onto a working drawing. Could anyone be as kind to tell me the best way to do this as I do not really want to draw the logo out as it is quite complicated.

If you have AutoCAD v14 you can bring it in as an image then DXF it out. Then DXF it into the drawing format.
You need to get the DXF or IGES. This would make things easier

To retrieve an existing symbol, use Create>Symbol>Instance and select Retrieve in the resulting dialog. If you have the config option PRO_SYMBOL_DIR set, it will default to the directory you have already set up.
Keep in mind that symbols in ProE are like 'cells' or other placeable graphics (clipart) - once they are properly defined, they are very useful for repeating the same graphic over and over (charts, graphs, or whatever silly sales guys want on prints).

Select insert - object - bitmap image - from file and you can select a bitmap image and put it anywhere on the drawing as well as rescale it.
It you are converting a raster file (bitmap- TIF, JPG, BMP) to vector (dxf, IGES, etc.)you have to be real careful about how the conversion is done. Many converters will not make true curves or arcs. This leads to hundreds of small straight lines that represent arcs or curves. This leads to sections that are vitrually unuseable in sketcher if with the accuracy set really high. After I converted our companies logo to vector I used Corel Draw to correct much of this making the dxf file easy to work with. (Note - it wasn't fun - but it worked well)
