jhazel0705 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Ok gang....this one perplexes me. I am working with embedded document feature and I understand you create a piece of art....OUTSIDE of the file....then you open a new workbook....do your thing and then "FILE ->PLACE" the workbook with the image inside of the new...and I get it is editable ...you double click to edit....etc.etc. my question is this: If I have a document and there is a layer in there or a group that I want to make an EMBEDDED document ....can I create an embedded document from INSIDE the file....? I ask because it takes time to create the image file...then save the image file ...then open up a file I want to place it in...and then bring it inside...that is a crazy work around .....I was wondeing if there was an easier work around where you click on a layer or group and can choose " make embedded file" ..and off it goes Maybe it doesn't exist ...and maybe no one else wants this feature...but figured I would ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not possible. You could select your layers, Copy, then File > New from Clipboard, then Save or Export. Then delete the layers and use File > Place. jhazel0705 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
