Hey,

H‌ave been doing schematics for a project and came across an error in which JPEG files are getting the error message "The type of the selected file is not supported". This seems silly but I have indeed made sure they are JPEG's and that other JPEG files work.

C‌ould it be the size of the image (9933x7016) causing the issue? I ask this because the other files I have used to test whether JPEGS are generally working (which they are) are considerably smaller images.

H‌ave used what I thought were identically sized files for the first draft and it worked fine but when going to replace the floor-plan with a more up to date version (or even starting a new drawing with the new versions) I am not being allowed to import the new plans. ‌‌‌

A‌ny Ideas/Solutions as to what might be causing this issue?

T‌hanks,‌‌

Hi,

Y‌es, the issue is the size of the image; you're coming up against a resources issue.

Thanks, 

I‌ assume the resource limit is what is happening since the first images I imported worked fine across the four drawings but hen any subsequent get compressed to hell immediately after opening the drawing but then cannot import anything thing else after that.

R‌eason for using JPEGs is that initially we used PDF's but was finding that the program was starting to chug quite a bit (well more accurately my laptop was starting to get overwhelmed)‌. 

S‌till though, thanks again for the detailed response (the details are appreciated) . Will have a look at removing the the old pictures from the project (as well as potentially some other unnecessary resources) and try again. 

L‌astly the reason I am using star draw for this is a lack of a more suitable CAD program‌ but none the less, has done generally alright with what we are making it do. 

T‌h‌‌anks, ‌
