Enables you to insert and embed external graphic files into existing drawings, frames and templates regardless of the active view. After inserting the file, the user can then move and resize the picture within the drawing, as required. It is recommended to avoid placing heavy pictures, since this may slow down system performance. This option is used for adding system logos or for displaying part pictures and so on.

The following options can be performed:
