inserting images

Images (such us photographs) can be inserted in the document. Supported image formats are BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF and WMF.

To insert an image into the document do one of the following:

1. Select an image in Windows explorer, do Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V in the ProfiCAD drawing.
2. Drag and image from Windows explorer to the ProfiCAD drawing
3. Use the menu commands "Insert" - "Image". A dialog box allowing you to select the image you want to insert will appear.

Before you Insert an image in the document,adjust the image in the graphics editor to avoid the increase of the document size. For black and white documents we recommend setting the number of colours to just black and white (in most graphics editors this command is generally called "decrease colour depth").

For image adjustment we recommend for instance a freeware program IrfanView
