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.
