Binding PDF

[cknowlton]

Using AutoCAD for mac 2013 I have used a PDF background in my drawing using the PDF underlay feature.  This raster image (scanned hand drawing) is referenced into my drawing like an xref would be.

However, I can't find a way to bind the PDF into the file.  I need to exchange my DWG files with others and there is no etransmit function to make a package to send them either.

Does anyone else have this probelm?  Any work around suggesstions?

Simply sending the PDF file with the .dwg file is not sucsessful when other parties use programs such as vector works aparently.

Any help greatly appriciated!

Hi Chrisotpher,

There is no way to bind PDF or raster image into DWG file in AC for Mac (in Windows version you might try to insert a bitmap as OLE object, but I'm not sure that VectorWorks can import such objects, especially on Mac).
