  3. Click on the application that created the graphic or, on the Mac, click on the file.

  5. Save the ISIS/Draw file in the Templates directory.
  6. Select Options > Configure > Template Menu and use the Add to Menu command to browse and choose your new sketch.
If the application that created your graphic is not on the Insert Object list:
  1. Open the graphics program in which the EPS file was created.
  2. Highlight the logo and choose Edit > Copy.
  3. Open ISIS/Draw and paste the logo.
