• In the Insert Tab  of the Design Panel , select Insert File  and choose a drawing.

• Choose File > Insert and select a drawing.

• Press ⌘I

Insert a Drawing

1. Choose File > Insert.

2. Browse to the desired folder in the Insert dialog.

3. Click a drawing to highlight it.

Files other than drawings are dimmed in the Insert Design dialog.

4. Click the Open button to load the drawing.

5. The drawing is placed on the canvas.

Transferring Drawing Elements with Insert

You can use Insert to transfer drawing elements between drawings.

1. Delete all the objects from a drawing except the desired piece (for instance, in a floral design, delete everything except one flower that you want to use elsewhere).

2. Save the isolated drawing element as a new drawing file (.ecq).

3. Open the drawing in which you want to insert the isolated element.

4. Insert the new element with Insert.

If you do this several times then you will gradually build up your own library of drawing elements.

File Formats
