Inserting Drawings

There are three methods you can use to insert a drawing into a card. You can link and embed information only if the application used to create it supports object linking and embedding. Check the application's documentation to find out.

Copy You use this method as you usually would to copy information to a different application, such as Paintbrush, by using the Clipboard. Once the drawing is in the new file, you can only change it by deleting it and copying a new one in its place. To insert a drawing already on the Clipboard, you use the Paste Special command on the Edit menu.

Embed Embedding is similar to copying but with one important difference: You can edit an embedded drawing (or object) from within Cardfile. To embed a drawing already on the Clipboard, you use the Paste command on the Edit menu.

Link Linking dynamically connects two files so that information in one file automatically updates when information in the other file changes. To link a drawing already on the Clipboard, you use the Paste Link command on the Edit menu. Linked drawings are also easily edited from within Cardfile.
