Importing or Copying a Clipart to a map.

I need to import or copy a clipart to my map. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, what is the work around, short of me applying a grid to the clipart and reproducing the image square by square.

If it is in png or bmp format, you can use Draw -> Insert File to insert it into the map. If it is not in an appropriate image format, you need to use an image editor or similar to convert it first. Remember that this will only insert a reference to the image in your map, it is not possible to embed the image itself, so make sure it is stored in an appropriate permanent location before doing this.

If this is something you are going to be using multiple times, you can also create a symbol from it. (See the manual for details)
