You can import any file from the file system and embed it in the SA job file. This is a great way to include additional pertinent information such as pdf files or excel files in a single program file for easy access. The embedded file is placed into the active collection. This is convenient for transporting relevant files with the job file. Of course, when doing so the SA job file grows accordingly to store the file.
Activate the collection into which you’d like to embed the file.
From the backstage select Import>Any File Format>Embed File of Any Format.
There are two additional special imbedded formats: Images and Measurement Plans
You can import any common image format into the SA job. In the tree, embedded images appear under the Pictures category in the active collection. Importing images is particularly useful because these images can be used in reports. For example, you might have a few JPEG images of a measured part taken with a digital camera that you’d like to include in your report.
Measurement plans are also embedded in a separate category. This is an active working category that can be directly used to run custom scripted operations within your job file.
