      Displaying DXF Images in Reports

      2. Go to the "Drawing" tab in the upper left and select "Create Drawing Image File". This will create and store a .png image of the imported DXF image.

      3. In the administration section, either create a new report or copy an existing report and set the "DrawingToInclude" selection to "Dxf". If the report is duplicated, it may be helpful to add "DXF" to the report name.
