Inserting pictures

To insert a picture, proceed as follows:

1.Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture frame picture_insert_icon.
(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.
