Placing a Worksheet on the Drawing

To include a worksheet as an object on the drawing:

  1. From the Resource Browser, select the desired worksheet.

  2. The worksheet must be a part of the current file. If the worksheet is part of another file, first import it into the current file. (See Importing Worksheets.)

  3. Select Worksheet On Drawing from the Resources menu.

  4. The worksheet is now included in the drawing as a graphic object. It can be moved like any other graphic object, but it cannot be resized. If the worksheet is currently open, the contents of the worksheet in the drawing are replaced with an X.

    Alternatively, double-click the worksheet in the Resource Browser to place it in the drawing file, or select the worksheet in the Resource Browser and drag it to the desired location in the drawing file. Both methods automatically select Worksheet on Drawing and place the worksheet as a graphic object.

  5. With the worksheet window open, use the Format Cells command to format individual rows, columns, and cells of the worksheet. The format is retained when the worksheet is included on the drawing. Alternatively, with the worksheet window closed, select the worksheet object on the drawing, and use the Attributes palette to modify the fill, pen, and line thickness attributes for the entire object.

To edit a worksheet included as a drawing object:

  1. From the Resource Browser, select the desired worksheet.

  2. Select Open from the Resources menu.

  3. Alternatively, double-click the worksheet object in the drawing.

  4. The worksheet is opened and available for editing. The contents of the worksheet in the drawing are replaced with an X. Close the worksheet to display the worksheet contents in the drawing.
