Problem with external graphics

Problem with external graphics

[The Wizard]

All -
    I am experiencing some strange behavior with external graphics. I 
use one file to setup all the graphics for later inclusion. All that is 
in the file is a bunch of "\useexternalgraphics" statements, so I can 
reference the graphics by name later. The problem comes when I try to 
use "\placefigure" instead of "\externalfigure". Here is an example:

Figure setup:

\useexternalfigure[Figure 1][Figure1][scale=520,type=pdf,factr=broad]
% This sets up the file 'Figure1.pdf' for later inclusion

If I then reference it using

\externalfigure[Figure 1]

the figure is included at the spot following the text, and fits on the 
remainder of the page, which is what I want. But if I try to add a 
caption to it by using

\placefigure
[force][]
{}
{\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]}

the figure gets the caption, but always is placed on the top of the 
following page. Why is this?

What happens with \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[Figure1]} ?

because it dos not fit (spacing around it,

\placefigure
[force,none][]
{}
{\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]}


may help

Hans -
    I tried this solution, the result is still the same. Is there an 
easy way to find out why it doesn't fit? Does adding the caption cause 
it to require more space?

I also tried the answer offered by Renaud, 
"\placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[Figure1]}", which results in 
no figure at all.

adapt Figure1 -> Figure 1 according to your useexternalfigure declaration...

\placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[Figure1]

An example from a document of mine:

\useexternalfigure[largeur][nofile][width=.5\textwidth]
\useexternalfigure[slime][src/images/slime][largeur]

\placefigure[here][fig:ssrI]{Robot \SSR-I ({\sc
Hirose})}{\externalfigure[slime]}

Cheers,
