To Insert an OLE Object
You can insert an OLE object as a linked object or as an embedded object. Use one of the procedures below to insert an OLE object.
To Create a New Embedded Object within Creo Parametric
1. Open a drawing.
2. Click
Layout >
Object. The
Insert Object dialog box opens.
3. Select Create New if you have not already selected an OLE object.
4. Under Object Type, select the type of object that you want to embed into your drawing.
|  Unsupported object types may also be listed. They contain a standard Microsoft icon. |
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and create your object. The object window appears on the drawing in Edit mode. The toolbars that belong to the application that created the drawing appear in the Graphics window.
6. Edit the object as desired, then click anywhere outside the object window to exit Edit mode and return to Creo Parametric.
To Create an Embedded Object from an External File
1. Open the Insert Object dialog box.
2. Select Create from File.
3. Do one of the following operations:
◦ Under File, type the path and the name of the file that you want to embed.
◦ Click Browse to locate and select the file, and click OK. The file name and path is added to the Insert Object dialog box.
4. Clear the Link check box.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and create the object. The object window appears on the drawing in Edit mode. The toolbars that belong to the application that created the drawing appear in the Graphics window.
6. Edit the object as required and click anywhere outside the object window to exit Edit mode and return to Creo Parametric.
To Link an Object
1. Open the Insert Object dialog box.
2. Select Create New.
3. Under Object Type, select the type of object that you want to embed.
| Unsupported object types may also be listed. They contain a standard Microsoft icon. |
4. Select the Link check box.
| Link allows you to create a linked OLE object rather than an embedded object. The system inserts a picture of the file contents into your drawing. The picture is linked to the file so that all future changes to the file are reflected in your drawing. Link is available only when you create an object from an existing file. |
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and create the object.
6. Edit the object as necessary, then click outside of the object window to exit Edit mode and return to Creo Parametric.
