Navigation Cells and custom images #2
« on: August 07, 2024, 05:03:22 pm »
Hello everybody,

as i4mdone asked in 2020, i would like to use my own images in navigation cells.
Is there now a way to realize this?

Kind regards

A suggestion regarding Navigation Cells and Images: it would be very handy if you could select Navigation Cell images from the Image Manager.  While the supplied images are actually quite good, I have several use cases where using custom images to match various concepts would be quite useful.

(maybe someone can tell me there is a way to do this and I just don't know how)

You can paste an image as an image asset then drag and drop that image asset from the project browser onto the navigation cell. That appears to work, just tested V16.1
Happy to help

Thank you Sunshine  8)

It worked. For all other users, here is a more detailed description of how it is done (V16.1):

  • Drag and drob an image file from the windows explorer into a Diagram in EA
  • EA asks you, how to store the Image. Choose Image Asset
  • Now the Image is in the diagram and the Project Browser
  • Delete it from the diagram by right click -> delete
  • Now you can drag the Image from the Projekt Browser and drop it on the Navigation Cell
  • EA asks you how to insert the Image. Choose Set as Alternate Image

Done.

Im sure there is a way to not drop it into the diagram first but it worked for me for the moment.
Thanks again and I wish you a sunny day  8)
