Raster image path problems

[jojoma]

Hello, I'm having problems in ACAD 2006. I have created a title block that includes a raster image of my company logo. I save the title block as a dwg. I then import the title block into the paper space of a file that I save as a template, dwt. When I import the template into another drawing, the company logo does not show up, but instead I get a get file path, like c:\documents\etc...

The path it is searching for is wrong, as it refers to the old location. I have since moved the raster image elsewhere. I have updated both the title block dwg and the template dwt files to make sure the path is correct. I have purged both files to make sure there are no obscure references tagging along. I have verified that I am working with the correct files.

Does anyone know what's happening here? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Im not a big fan of raster images, personaly if the images isnt very large i would insert it into the template file as an OLE object that way its imbedded in that template with no referencing needed.
This is the process i would use
Insert>OLE Object
Choose Bitmap Image
Paint should open
Edit>Paste From
search for your logo n open
Close Paint.
Hope this helps

Another option may be to save the raster as a WMF and import that into CAD. It will likely need some work to clean it up, but it then could be made into a block and would be a part of the dwg or dwt.

I tried this, and it looks promising. However, my image now has an outline that I'd like to get rid of. I tried setting the imageframe variable to 0, but the frame is still there. Do you know how to get rid of this? Thanks for the help.

Never mind! Found the oleframe setting and set it to 0. Thanks for the help!
