SmartDraw Organizational Chart Tutorial

ADD PHOTOS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION CHARTS

Thanks to SmartDraw's one-click photo insertion features, you can insert digital images to create eye-catching charts and diagrams.

Photos can transform an abstract diagram into concrete communication.

Imagine your next org chart with stylish photographs of your employees instead of just abstract geometric shapes.

Inserting a Photo
You can insert a picture or photo (such as a JPG, GIF, PNG or other bitmap image) into your drawing by choosing Picture on the Insert tab and browsing to locate the picture on your computer.

Unless you have already selected a place for the picture to go (such as a selected shape or a table cell) it will be placed near the upper left corner of your SmartDraw drawing by default. You can then drag it to any position you like.

Replacing a Placeholder Photo
You can also insert a picture into an existing Picture Placeholder on some of the ready-made SmartTemplates.

The placeholders are temporary images meant to be replaced by your real images. Double-click on the placeholder to open the Import dialog, and then browse to the picture the same way you would using the Insert command.

You can delete a picture, or a picture placeholder, from the page like any other object, by clicking on it to select it and hitting the delete key.
