Importing images onto work orders

Post by nothingincorporated » 29 May 2007, 09:51

Basically I am in charge of designing plant buckets using the CAD system. The problem is that what I want to do is import the images onto the work orders before they go out into the workshop to be designed. This is to give the welders a better idea of what each bucket is supposed to look like.
I have converted the CAD drawings into JPEG (Each JPEG has the order number for a bucket) but I cannot figure out if you can add the image to the work order relevant to the bucket.
If this is at all possible (which I'm not even sure it is) any help in acheiving this would be brilliant (and would get my boss of my back :)

Many thanks
Jake

Well... I know what you want and it is just so annoying that sage will not do it.

I have tried everything I can think of to work around it.

The only success I have had is doing it outside sage, using excel and odbc to make html which picks up pictures and so on.

Why does the report designer force us to use a filename, why could it not be a variable? I dunno. But it doesn't let us do it!

Thanks for that.
It just needs a nifty little thing that lets you assign an image a product code so that you can put the image on the work order of that particular product.
It suprises me that it doesn't have a feature like that already.

Ah well, one day perhaps.

Thanks though :)
