Do you know where or what to search for in the Xcode help to find the documentation explaining that .pdf files now default to vectors?

The best way to add images to Xcode 7 is to drop them into the Assets.xcassets folder. First, select the folder, then drag and drop images into panel to the right of your project navigator.
Let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks for those links. A lot of good information. By the way, your first link has a trailing '
' which is an ASCII carriage return and breaks your link. You may want to update that.

Courses Plus Student 22,129 PointsNate, thanks for pointing out the broken link. I've made your recommended corrections and the links are working perfectly for any other students trying to reference them. Appreciate the heads up!

Courses Plus Student 22,129 PointsNate you can also check out the last half of this Treehouse video. Pasan explains it a little better than I can.

Courses Plus Student 22,129 PointsAs of xCode 7.0.1 (released Sept 30) After dragging and dropping images into the Assets.xcassets file, xCode will automatically default your images type as vectors if they are of the .pdf type
Additionally all images will be defaulted as universal upon importing.
