Drag and drop images


Recommended Posts

Working in VW 2013 Fund.

Windows 7

Am I supposed to be able to drag and drop images onto a design/sheet layer.

we have a mix of VW versions and both Macs and Windows Machines.

I find the differences difficult to understand.

VW 2009 (f) on a MAC we can drag and drop images and import PDFs

on VW 2013 (f) on WIN 7 we cannot drag and drop images or import PDFs at all.

is this correct?

Thanks for the help

btw, I have a request in to get all of us up to VW 2014 design series, we'll see....

Dragging and dropping an image file should trigger the Import Image function, yes.

In Fundamentals, dragging and dropping a PDF will not trigger PDF import, since Fundamentals can not import or export PDFs, only the "Print PDF" emulator built into OS X and included on some windows machines with other Adobe products already installed, such as Adobe Reader.

On a Mac OS dragging and dropping a PDF may do the image-copy-and-paste action on occasion, but thats more of a Mac OS function and not something built into Vectorworks.
