IMAGES IN SCHEDULES

There are two ways to include images in schedules:- add them to family files or add them directly to schedules.

But before you do either you need to create the image files and place them in a folder where they can always be found.

For schedule images place them in a folder within the project's library.

For family file images place them in the category folder within the library.

Note that each method uses a different parameter, and therefore different columns in a schedule.

Therefore if you use a mixture of the two methods you will have images in two different columns.

ADD IMAGES TO SCHEDULES

1. In any schedule add the Image field to the schedule.

2. In the schedule click in a cell in the Image column and browse to the image file.

You will not see the image until the schedule is placed on a sheet.

Note that if the component in the schedule is in a linked file you will not be able to add an image. You need to open the linked file and add the image in that file.

ADD IMAGE TO A FAMILY FILE

1. Open the family file.

2. In the properties window under Identity Data click on button opposite Type Image parameter.

3. Browse to the image file.

The Type Image parameter will now have the file name of the image.

Add the Type Image parameter to your schedule.

You will not see the image until the schedule is placed on a sheet.
