Import Graphics

  • Last UpdatedJul 13, 2023

The Graphics Builder has several file format filters to allow you to import graphics from other applications, such as drafting programs, illustration programs, presentation packages, scanners, etc. After a graphic is imported, you can use the Graphics Builder to edit the image.

Graphics files can be dragged from a third-party application (such as Windows Explorer), and dropped onto a page in the Graphics Builder.

You use the Import dialog box to import a graphic produced with a different application.

If you have selected Import as Flashing, two Import dialog boxes appear in sequence, allowing you to choose two images that you want to implement as a flashing symbol. The Import Primary dialog allows you to select the initial image used; the Import Flashing dialog allows you to choose the second images used.
