Create from File
Create from File inserts the contents of a file as an object in your document so that you can activate the object using the application in which it was created.
To create an OLE object from an existing file:
1. Click Browse and browse to the file you want to link using the file browser.
2. Click Open.
3. Optionally, click the Link check box to link the OLE object to its source application such that changes in the original file are reflected in the OLE object in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting.
4. Optionally, click the Display As Icon check box to represent the OLE object by the associated application icon in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting.
5. Optionally, click Change Icon to select a different icon for the OLE object.
6. Click OK.
7. Retain the default OLE object name or specify a name for the OLE object in the user input line and press ENTER.
8. Specify the insertion position for the OLE object in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting.
The OLE object is displayed in the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting drawing.

If the inserted OLE Object is a Microsoft Excel sheet, the contents displayed may differ from the actual sheet depending on the font size, the row height, and the number of rows and columns used in the actual sheet. The size of the inserted OLE object remains the same even after you add rows or columns to the actual sheet. However, there is no loss of information in the Microsoft Excel sheet even if all the rows and columns are not displayed.
