You edit a linked drawing the same way you edit an embedded drawing. Remember, though, that any changes you make to a linked drawing appear in all the files associated with it through links. To edit a linked drawing 1 From the Edit menu, choose Picture. 2 Double-click anywhere in the presentation of the linked drawing. Or, from the Edit menu, choose Edit Paintbrush Picture Object.
Paintbrush opens, displaying the drawing.
3 Edit the drawing as needed. The presentation of the linked drawing is updated automatically to reflect your changes. If you have set the Update option to Manual, the presentation of the linked drawing does not change when the drawing it is linked to changes. The presentation is updated only when you choose to update.
