AFAIK the new image wants a file path in which case simpler if you save the image first instead of just paste it at least to get it into the library. Unless you others know how to full the DBX when pasting.

I got it to show up in the libuary but it wont paste as and image in my layout

Gonna have to go a bit around for that I think. Psolid in elevation using Standard View , sized as needed, apply your image. Control layers as needed, send to layout- scale.

I appreciate the video but it doesn't do it for items that I use the snipping on.


The image shown was snipped from a PDF. 

When you snip and save an image, are you importing it via File > Import > Import Picture?

Couldn't get DavidJames thing to work with image I tried but found this in the reference manual which answers your original questions.

"Using Paste Image
You can also import an image by first
copying it to the system clipboard,
then navigating to a Chief Architect window
and selecting Edit> Paste> Paste from the
menu, or by using the Screen Capture tools.
See “Paste Special” on page 185 and
“Creating Screen Captures” on page 1174.

so this was screen capture copy and paste special into layout.
