Creating image resources

Image resources can be created by importing new image files or modifying existing image resources.

To create an image resource:

1.      Do one of the following:

       Select File > Import > Import Image File, and then select the image file to import. Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into an open Vectorworks file. Proceed to step 3.

       From the Resource Manager, click New Resource, select Image, and then click Create. Alternatively, select Images from the list of resource types on the tool bar, and click New Image. Proceed to step 2.

2.If you’re creating a resource from the Resource Manager, and there are no resources with an image already present in the file, select the image file to import and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, the Choose Image dialog box opens.

3.From the Image Import Options dialog box, specify the import parameters. See Importing an image file.

Image resources that are not in JPEG format can be compressed by JPEG with the Compress Images command. See Compressing images.
