You can modify an embedded or linked object in its original program from within progeCAD. When you modify an embedded object, you change the object only in progeCAD, not its original file (if you pasted the object from an existing file). When you modify a linked file, however, you open and change the original file.
Most programs include a submenu of actions you can perform on an embedded or linked ActiveX object. Usually, the commands for editing ActiveX objects are Edit and Open. If the object is embedded and its program supports in-place editing, the Edit command opens the object in place. The Open command opens the object in the full program window. In progeCAD, this command appears at the bottom of the Edit menu.
