Attach a raster image so it is part of a drawing and travels with it.

[Blackfish]

Sorry Dadgad, but I'm just saying that AutoCAD LT doesn't support other image file than BMP when inserting as an object into drawing (INSERTOBJ). There is no problem with images attached into drawing as a reference (IMAGEATTACH command). However I couldn't find anything in documentation saying that LT is limited to bitmap images using INSERTOBJ.

PS. In LT there is no such complex Option Dialog Box, but I've checked variables and all are properly set.

No apologies required Blackfish, I am just throwing some stuff out there trying to help, I don't know much about Raster. Rasta, I got you covered.

You could always covert the file to a file that is recognised by AC using photoshop or same type of program yes ?

It's even easier... and you don't have to buy Photoshop to embed an image in AutoCAD when inserting OLE object you should select 'Create new' > 'Paintbrush Picture' and inside the program 'Edit' > 'Paste From...' and you can select image file you want e.g. JPG. Then you close Paintbrush and 'your' file is pasted in AutoCAD, but that's not the original file, it's only converted JPG to bitmap image (BMP). However it helps in certain situation.

The OP's question was about embeding images in AutoCAD drawing... I'm just saying that with LT it works only with BMP image.

open the image in paint, crop the image and paste it in autocad.

sorry not crop but cut....

Seems that there is an issue with LT and image formats other than BMP - I just spoke with a mate who is using LT and he confirmed the behavior encountered by Blackfish.

Thank you Micrea, as a LT user I was sure about that, but with all these posts I have started thinking that I was doing something wrong

In a previous employment myself and other colleagues had this same issue. One came up with a 'solution'. It's been a few years since I tried it so I'm not a 100% sure it will work or if I remember the process, but might be worth a try...

1. Open the image in your internet browser (by using File -> Open).
2. Right click and copy image.
3. 'Paste Special' into AutoCAD.

Hope this helps?
