# Importing Pictures into Sector Frames

The software provides three ways to import a picture, designated by the radio buttons labeled "From File," "From Clipboard," and "Use Sector Name." The button that is "on," at the time you click the Import Picture button, determines where the picture will come from. If "From File" is on, a click on the Import Picture button will produce a standard "Get File" dialog. Navigate through the directory to locate the graphics file you wish to import (PICT files for Macintosh, see appendix at the end of the chapter for Windows formats). Once you have found what you want, import the file (using the Open/OK button or a double-click on the name of the file in the list) and you're in business. The Import Picture button now will include an "*" to let you know that you were successful in importing the picture.

If you select the "From Clipboard" option, whatever is currently in the Clipboard will be imported when you click the Import Picture button. Once again, look for the "*" to ensure that a successful import has occurred.

Helpful Hint: There is a shortcut for importing pictures from the Clipboard. Select a Sector Frame on the Map/Model level, then choose Paste from the Edit Menu.

Finally, if you have selected the Use Sector Name option, a dialog like the one shown in Figure 6-43 will appear when you click the Import Picture button. This dialog allows you to set the font, size, and alignment characteristics of the Sector's name, as it will appear within the main portion (not the header) of the Sector Frame.

Note: The text that is displayed within the Sector Frame will not be directly editable. To change the text, edit the name of the Sector within its dialog or header.
