    Hello,

    I'm trying to determine if the following problem is a graphics card
    issue or Edrawing itself.

    1. Company logo (bitmapped image, jpeg, etc.) does not appear in
    edrawing.

    2. Any ole inserted object (such as a visio schematic) does not appear
    in edrawing.

    3. Multi-line BOM item (SW2004 BOM feature)- edrawing does not
    recognize the line return - resulting in one very lone text line
    running across the drawing.

    Does anyone else have these problems?

    I don't believe e-drawings supports OLE objects (i.e.. inserted jpgs,
    spreadsheets, etc.)

    I've got a customers sheet format that sports their logo (inserted JPG), and
    an inserted Excel chart used as a revison table. Both appear just fine in an
    eDrawing. I've been working with this customer for 3 years, (so eDrawings
    2001, 2003, and 2004?) and I have never had a problem.

    Both objects are used in my xxx.slddot template.

    Sorry. Apparently I was incorrect with my first response. Are you using
    2004 files with 2004 e-drawings? It does state in the documentation that
    2003 files and older will not work with e-drawings 2004 and 2004 files and
    newer will not work with anything but e-drawings 2004.

    Have you got the 'Save eDrawings data in Solidworks document' box ticked
    within System options - General?

    This may bring the jpeg logo back
