Adding a Picture to a Diagram

To add a picture from an image file (with the extensions JPG, JPEG or GIF) to a diagram:

Note

To do this, save the image file in the central image repository folder specified in the system preferences for Paths in Capital Project Manager using the Change System Paths dialog. The diagram saves only the path to the image file (that is, it does not import the image) so it loses the image if the file is moved.

Procedure

1. Press Space Bar and enter Image. The cursor changes to .

2. Click on the diagram, to place the first corner of the image frame that will contain the image.

3. Click on the diagram, to place the opposite corner of the image frame. The Image Selection Dialog appears.

4. In the Changing the Picture in an Image Frame, select the image file containing the picture to be added.

5. Click Select. The image frame and picture is added to the diagram. The picture is scaled to fit the image frame. Note In Capital E/E Publisher, if you click once on a pin, connector or device before clicking to start drawing the graphic, the graphic is automatically associated with the object. If the object is subsequently moved, the graphic moves with it.
