Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
Is it possible to insert multiple bitmap images ? - if not would this be possible to implement as I would find this option extremely useful.

Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
Yes, you can insert as many bitmaps as required into your drawing.
Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
Thanks Andrew, sorry I should have been clearer - what I meant was can I insert multiple bitmaps in one go?

Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
No. Can you elaborate on how such a tool would have to work? E.g. insert the selected images all in one place on top of each other, as an array beside each other or positioned individually?Clive wrote:what I meant was can I insert multiple bitmaps in one go?
Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
Thanks, an array beside each other with some kind of spacing size option would be good. For me the important thing would be just to be able to get more than one image inserted at a time instead of repeating the whole process several times in some cases, I can rearrange them after this stage how I wish.
I'll give you an example from something I'm currently working on, I am creating a set of drawings for students to detail how to draft spiral staircases and in each drawing I also have some photo's, in one of the drawings I have 7 photo's inserted ... so an option to speed up this process would be good. I have more similar projects like this to do in the pipeline!

Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
An option might be to create multiple copies of the same image first and then change the image name using the property editor:
This can speed up things, certainly if your images are called 'image001', 'image002', or if you have the list of file names ready to copy / paste.Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
Not sure I follow you correctly. My situation would need for example 7 different images all to be inserted in just one go.

Re: Can I insert multiple Bitmap images ?
My idea was to insert 7 copies of an identical image, then click each image one by one and edit the 'File' property (e.g. image001.jpg, image002.jpg, ...).

That is a nice tip - I have to try it - thank you!andrew wrote:My idea was to insert 7 copies of an identical image, then click each image one by one and edit the 'File' property (e.g. image001.jpg, image002.jpg, ...).
