Slicer Affect Images

Hello, 

 

I just want to be able to have the slicer choice turn on or off these sample images I put in. For eample, if Mechanical package 2 is selected, I just want the first picture to show up. Is there any way to do this?

@Ryan123456  how have you inserted the images? Are they part of your data model or just inserted via the insert tab? If they aren't part of the data model, slicer can't influence visibility of objects, but bookmarks can. Then you can use Insert > Buttons > Navigators > Bookmark to make it look like a slicer that can hide and unhide the images.

 

If they are part of the data model, the slicer can work if it's related properly.

 

Hope that helps, let me know if you need more info on bookmarks or anything.
