Why can't I import anything in SU14 pro?
-
I finally took the plunge and upgraded from SU 8 pro to 14 pro and one (among several) problems I'm having is that I can no longer import anything whether it's a pdf, jpg, ping, etc. I usually import site plans when building a scene, and now I can see the image with a little red cicle/slash when I go to import.
In 8, I could just click and drag to get the plan the right size when importing...now I can SEE the image inside of the document, but I cannot click to place it. So for now, as a work-around, I am importing into 8, saving and then reopening in 14 but would rather have it working.
Is anyone else having this problem, or is there something new I need to be doing?

I haven't ever seen this. I've imported JPGs, PNGs, PDFs DXFs and DWGsI with no problem whatsoever on my Mac. I could imagine it happening if, for example, you were trying to import an image as a texture but don't have a face onto which to import it. Is it possible you've done something like that?

your import preferences are set by your last 'File' >> ' Import' action...
so import one the 'File' way into a new drawing, set as image, is it placable?
trash it or don't save is fine...
you probably did this at some stage in v8, but haven't yet in v2014...
after they should come in as placable images...

Thanks Dave- you were right! I didn't realize that I was importing as a texture (had been doing that earlier and didn't think to change it back when importing).
This forum is great! Thanks!
