Trouble inserting images into drafts

i am trying to insert an image file into a draft. when i attempt to use insert>picture the image shows up with very poor quality. when i attempt to print the file, the image is illegible.

if i copy the image to the clipboard from a screen capture, it shows up and looks great. it prints and looks perfect, but when i save the file and put it into e-PDM the image disappears.

can someone help me with this.

i do this quite a bit when dropping vendor supplied drawing images onto our in-house documentation.

thanks,

-Tom
