Why I can’t rotate the inserted OLE image?
Inserting image like this has a problem: when we copy the drawing to others, we will have to attach the image file, otherwise, the image won’t show in the drawing that we send to others.

How to deal with low switch between layout tabs and why this happens?
To solve the problem of low switch between layout tabs, users need to know what has caused this. There are two main reasons for slow performance between layout tabs: the drawings are very complex and contains many data and graphics; there are too many viewports on the layouts and the viewports have used different settings.
