i've gone through the VW help file, and tried the web, but without much success. does anybody know if there is another way to put images into VW that won't send the VW file size through the roof? when importing compressed jpeg files the size of the VW file increases by x10, rather than just adding the 300 / 400k of the image.
what i'm specifically trying to find is a command similar to 'place' in illustrator that references in an external image without imbedding it in the VW file. that would have the advantage of automatically reloading the external image every time the VW file is opened, similar to an x-ref in autocad.
is this possible?
