Import Jpeg in 2009

[SteveJ]

This is probably such an easy thing but its got me demented!

 

I have recently been upgraded to 2009 from 2008.

 

When send drawing out I am often asked to put jpegs on the final layout. In 2008 I used to do this by insert OLE object. This was the only way I could get the drawing to email and still have the image visable, not just the path to where I had the jpeg saved locally.

 

However, in 2009 when I do this I only get an outline with filename.jpeg.

 

Hopefully this all makes sense and has a simple solutions.

 

Cheers

Steve

Would the IMAGEATTACH command be applicable to this situation?

[SteveJ]

I have just tried that and unfortunately I still get the file path and not the image, but thanks anyway

What is the system variable RASTERPREVIEW set to?

Is it something to do with where the Jpeg is saved?

If its in the same folder I dont get any problems, anywhere else & it only shows up on who evers PC that set it up.

 

I use > Insert > Raster Image

ReMark, Its set to 1. What does that do?

 

Connect Project Tech - I ahve everything saved on a central drive at work. So when its emailed out (even with etransmit) it only shows the file path.

Use the "Image Manager" to attach your image files.

Make sure the JPG in the same folder as the DWG when you attach it, and do not hit that 'save path' button at the bottom right.

If you do a etransmit and send the file that way your jpg will show up when the recipients unzip all files to a directory.
