In this video I will tell you about attaching beliefs and images as an external reference.
So I'll start with the PTF.
So for inserting the PTF as an external reference go to then so once again and click on attach.
Now look at the PDA which you want to attach.
In this case we have this FBI PDA which will attach the people can be found you can open and you will
see this attach PDA under the window.
In this case we have the single page.
But if you have a multi-page PDA of all the pages will be listed in this preview and you can select
the pages which you want to include in this case as select the one PDA of your this one and I'll select
the relative part and all the options are the default.
Now click on OK.
And here we have it the PBF has been advised in this drawing.
Now in this case there are a couple of settings that you can change and more defined for this PDA.
And you can even converted this PDA into a native of you fight.
So I'll start with the display properties of this PDA so I'll click on this boundary and that will bring
this PTF unduely option.
Now here in this case we have the adjustment panel here.
Now you can adjust the contrast just like this or you can even feed it or make it darker like this.
Also here we have lots of color in this drawing if you want to display this drawing in monochrome display
in monochrome and we have it here in monochrome.
All the colors are now removed.
Click on it to once again to bring it back to the normal state.
Also we have the clipping options so you can clip it or you can remove the clipping and if you want
to show this underlay or if you want to hybrid you can simply toggle this option.
Now in this case we have this enabled snap option and that will allow you to snap to different points
of this drawing as if it's a simple DWB entity or a native card file.
So I got to Home tab and select line tool.
And when a movement goes did you notice that we have these snaps the end point snap the midpoints snap
and lots of other snaps here.
These are available here.
But if you once again press Escape key let's select it and let's change it to enable snap toggled off.
Now I'll go to Home tab select the line too and now you'll notice that we don't have any more that snapping
point.
We don't have it here now.
So in order to have that snapping active you need to select that option so that can enable snap.
Also we have an option of editing the live visibility so you can click on edit Lears and here we have
these layers so for example lets turn off the dimensions so I click on dimensions and we don't have
it here although it's not perfect in this case we do have these errors here and that can be moved manually.
So I'll once again click on the damage and turn it on and I click on OK.
Now in this case this is still an external reference and it's not a native BW file.
Now in order to make it a completely native file you need to import it.
And if you want to be imported as an object you can select this option.
So click on import as objects and now specify the area which you want to import.
So in this case obviously we want to include all of these objects so I select them all.
And now what do you want to do with this external reference.
So we have these three options either you can keep them as it is you can detach them.
That simply means you can delete it or you can unload it so that you can hide it but you can still see
it in the external references palette.
So I also like this unload option so that I'll hide it.
Now with the unload option simply press enter.
And here we have it.
The extra has been brought in a drawing and it is now in the native format.
Also when you go to this external references option you will see this extreme reference's ballot on
which we have the order of here which is unloaded.
You can again reload it simply by right clicking and selecting the reload option.
But we don't need you to simply detach it.
And now you can clean up the drawing and you can remove all the necessary parts and this drawing and
you can work on it just like any simple drawing.
In a similar way you can attach images also in your article drawing as an external reference so once
I you know I'll go to the Insert tab and select this attach option and I'll select a new image here.
In this case ads like this are UMG image which is a b and g file with background transparency.
Now click on open and with the default options I'll click on OK.
Now here we have it.
Click here and I'll accept the default values or I simply press enter.
And here we have it.
The file has been included here as an image.
Now here also we can change multiple properties of this image.
So I click on the boundary first.
Now we have the adjustment option.
The brightness the contrast and also we have the feed options so you can feed it or you can keep it
at its default value.
Now we have the clipping options and also we have the show or hide image.
In this case the boundaries visible but the image has been hidden.
Now we have an option of background transparency which will only work for Biondi files with the background
transparency.
In this case if you want to hide the background simply click on it and the background is now hidden.
This is as I mentioned only applicable in case of BNZ files with background transparency.
Now let's press Escape key and here we have it.
The image has been added but in this case you'll see this frame which in most cases is not required.
So in order to change this frame or in order to completely hide it you can simply use image frame system
variable type image frame.
Press enter and changes value from 2 2 0 0 and press enter.
And now we don't have that image frame anymore.
So once again to press enter and I'll bring it back to two so that the frame is visible.
So that was all about attaching PTF and images as an external reference file in Arctic add.
