Hi 

my colleagues want be to design a system to easy add some standard photo  to help the assembly department. 

how would you do this ? so it is easy to use and remember how to use it. We allready using Sketch for some standard text.  what would work bedste with Picture?

That is not the right forum for this kind of questions, but simply go to the manage tab > Insert Object > Create From File > Browse to you image

[Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy]

You are kind of right. and yet not necessarily.  your way would require the user to know what picture to use and take a lot of click.  You could make a marco to add the picture, or use an globel form. I would like somthing better then inventor standard

Oh, I did not understand you wanted to do this automatically.

Here is the solution from that post :

Sub InsertImage()

Dim doc As Inventor.Document
Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oImagePath As String
oImagePath = "C:\Users\Jhoel\Testimage.png"
'Use the path to your image


Dim oleReference As ReferencedOLEFileDescriptor

Set oleReference = doc.ReferencedOLEFileDescriptors.Add(oImagePath, OLEDocumentTypeEnum.kOLEDocumentEmbeddingObject)
oleReference.BrowserVisible = True
oleReference.Visible = True
oleReference.DisplayName = Mid$(oImagePath, InStrRev(oImagePath, "\") + 1)
End Sub

thank I ende up using your code in an Userform in VBA.  I needed up cutting the number of click in half.  and maybe even more. now I just have to see if the other users like this but thanks for the help

You could use "Sketched Symbols"

Hi,

It works differently with drawing document refering to assembly file ?
