Add Stamps to Drawings

Use the Insert Graphic Object dialog to add a stamp (e.g., company logo) to your drawing. You can, for example, revert to tables created within Excel and add these directly as OLE objects in Tilos. OLE objects can be saved as copies in the Tilos file or added as links.

Ways to access

Click the Insert Graphic Object icon on the Insert toolbar. Then choose the Insert OLE object option and click OK.

Steps

Add an OLE object

Define for example the cell frame of the border cell as a graphic cell.
Click the button Insert OLE object.
If you want to insert the objects in the right lower corner of your border:
Set Figure scaling to None and Alignment to Bottom/Right in Default Presets Toolbar.
Drag a field within the graphic cell with a pressed mouse button.
The dialog Insert Object is opened.
Activate the option Create from file.
Using the button Search select for example a previously created Excel file.
Confirm the dialog with OK.
Select Scaling None on the Figure Position tab in the Details Area.
Enter the Length Horizontal and vertical for the object or drag it to correct size.
Using the option Keep proportion the height of the graphic is adjusted to the width.

Position the text field in the lower right-hand corner of the page

Every object in Tilos has its pin points for positioning within the cell in the upper left-hand corner. As the text field should be positioned within the formula cell in the lower right-hand corner, the gap within the cell can also be entered from the lower right edge.

Changing the view size has then no effect on the visibility of the border content.
