To insert a picture, proceed as follows:
1. | Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture frame . |
| (To do so, click directly on the icon itself or use the icon's arrow and select the entry From file.) |
2. | A dialog box appears. Select the desired picture file in it and confirm it. |
3. | The picture is now inserted. |
| If you want, you can then move or resize the picture: |
| To move it, click on the picture with the mouse, and then drag it to the desired position (while still holding down the mouse button). |
| To adjust its size, drag one of the round handles surrounding the picture. |
Options of the dialog box
The options in the above dialog box mean the following:
▪Save within document
| If the option is enabled, PlanMaker saves a copy of the picture in the document and uses this copy instead of the original. |
| Note: If this option is enabled, the file size of the document may increase significantly. |
| If it is disabled, however, PlanMaker saves only a reference to the original picture file in the document. Changes to the original picture file are thus always available in an updated form in PlanMaker. |
| Tip: You can see the location of the original picture file in the picture properties. Right-click on the picture to open the context menu, and select Picture: Properties. In the dialog box, switch to the Properties tab and take a look under File name. |
| Note: If the file path of the picture file changes, however, it will no longer be displayed in the document. |
▪Copy to document's folder
| If the option is enabled, PlanMaker creates a copy of the picture file in the folder in which the document is located and saves a reference to this copy instead of to the original. |
| This option is available only if the document has already been saved. |
