Learning Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 My company uses a common template for our AutoCAD drawings. As needed each person copies the template form from a common location for use. Once the drawings have been completed we save them and forward to our clients. I am attempting to replace an old company logo with an updated version. The "old" logo is: Type: Embedded, Plot quality: Low graphics (e.g. color text & pie charts), Source application: Paintbrush Picture. The "new" logo is also a Paintbrush file. NameLineAFC 2018 - TITLE BLOCK.bmp - Paint The problem is I do not know how to embed the image. When others copy the file and open it the see a file name where the image should appear. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 By default, images (Entity type: Image) are referenced. You can use eTransmit to package the DWG file along with any references when you send it to your client(s). Your original sounds like an Entity Type: OLE2FRAME - which as you have seen, is embedded in the DWG file, but comes with its own set of problems. (Google it for specifics) If you really want to embed the image and live with the limitations of OLE objects, see this: https://autocadtips1.com/2013/02/22/embed-a-picture-not-as-a-reference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Have you thought about replacing the image all together if its simple objects rather than true images replace it with a block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftertouch Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 With Photoshop a image can be exported as DWG file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
