raster image with no path

[preda.vali]

Hello.

I've received a drawing that has an raster imaged inserted in it. When I want to see the properties of that image, I can only see the following:

Show Image - Yes

Show Clipped - Yes

Transparency - No

Nothing about the path or etc.

Could you tell how this is done and what is this all about?

Thanks

INSERTOBJ command as well as xopy/paste from inside an image editor to inside and open DWG file are methods to insert (not attach) an image in a drawing file.

If you need that image as a standalone file then ask the sender for it.

I tried with copy/paste as you suggested, but it's not quite the same thing. This method inserts an OLE object and not a raster image.And INSERTOBJ command does not work.

Start INSERTOBJ command:
◦Choose "Create New", then choose "Bitmap Image".
◦Next, Windows Paintbrush should open up.
◦In Paintbrush, choose the Edit menu, then PasteFrom
◦Select your existing image file (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, etc.)
◦While still in Paintbrush, choose File, then Exit and Return to AutoCAD

OR you could buy Full AutoCAD with the RASTER DESIGN add-on, and use the IEMBED command (I think it's called) to bind an image inside a DWG file.
