If left checked, the image will link from it's current location. Notice the 'Link' checkbox? It's checked by default! This is the point where it pays to stop and look at the dialog box. A dialog box will appear asking you to select the image to insert. The next step is to draw a rectangle where the image will reside. Click on the 'Image' icon to insert an image. So in this post, I'll go over the steps to insert a logo into the title block, and the step that makes sure the logo is embedded instead of linked.įirst, edit the definition of the title block by right clicking on it in the browser, and choosing 'Edit Definition'.Įditing the definition of the title block. I find it works a lot easier for me in the long run. Needless to say, I always embed my logos. Just imagine using Vault with Unique File Names Enforced, and being unable to check in a file because there's already a file named 'logo.bmp'! In my experience, it seems like the image gets lost, or there are multiple copies of the linked image floating around, inevitably causing what could be a minor data management nuisance to a full fledged headache! Personally, I hate linking the image to the title block. The danger is that by default, the image is actually linked into the file. As a matter fact (insert squinty eyes), it's too easy. The process is straight forward, and dare I say easy. One thing I've had to do several times is import a logo into a the title block on a drawing. Now that the we've all survived the Mayan Apocalypse and are cruising through the first few days of 2013, here's a simple post to kick off the new year. “Break one link and the whole chain falls apart”
