Parameters

FilePath

Path and file name of the embedded object to insert

Link

True to insert a picture of the original file into the drawing, false to insert the contents of the file into the drawing (see Remarks)

DisplayAsIcon

True to display the application icon in the drawing, false to display it in the data

Parameters

EmbeddedObject[out] or Return Value

IEmbeddedObject

There are two ways to insert data from files:

• Linked object. Specify Link = true to insert a picture of the file into the drawing. When you edit a linked object, the source file changes. When you edit the source file, the linked object changes.
• Embedded object. Specify Link = false to insert the contents of the file into the drawing so that you may activate it using the source application that created it. Changes you make to the data in the embedded object do not appear in the original file, and changes you make to the original file do not appear in the drawing.
