An object linking and embedding (OLE) object is an external file, such as a document, graphics file, or video file that is created using an external application and which can be inserted into another application, such as Creo+. You can create and insert supported OLE objects into a two-dimensional Creo+ file, such as a drawing, report, format file, notebook, or diagram. The functions described in this section enable you to identify and access OLE objects embedded in drawings.
