Add linked graphics


  In your graphics application, select the graphic image you want to add and choose Copy from the Edit menu.     Click in the document where you want to add the linked image.     Choose Link from the Edit menu.     Choose Paste and Link from the
Link menu.


You can add a linked graphic to your document. Then if the original graphic is changed, the linked copy in your document is automatically updated (while retaining it's height and width as set in your document).
To Paste and Link a paged based graphic, you need to click in the margin first to remove the insertion point.
You can add linked graphics only from applications that support them. The Draw application in /NextDeveloper/Demos is an example of such an application.
An application will not be able to provide a link until you have saved and named your document.
You can define an initial default update mode for newly PasteAndLink'ed graphics for ALL applications by typing "dwrite -g NXObjectLinkUpdateMode n" into a terminal window where n can be:
1 The data link is updated continuously.
2 The data link is updated when the source document for the link is saved (this is the default).
3 The data link is updated only when the user requests it in the Link Inspector.
4 The data link is never updated.
