Image Insertion

Image Insertion Entity represents copies of Image Definitions that are inserted in drawing. Copies of Image Entities can be inserted into a drawing using the Image Insertion Tool. To insert an Image Entity, it is required that the image definition exists in Image Library. Image definitions are added to the Image Library using the Manage Image Definitions Tool.
