Geomap captured image able to display in previous versions of autocad?

[jgray]

Hey guys,

Probally missing something obvious, but I am running autocad map 2015 and have a guy sitting next to me on autocad map 2014 and I have loaded in a geomap and then captured an area. I wish for him on his 2014 autocad map to be able to see my captured area, but it does not show. I see that the size of the drawing has increased signficantly and that there is a box showing the boundary of the captured image, but when he selects it, the properties lists it as a "proxy_object". Is there something I can do to make it so that he can see this captured image? We have a lot of clients using much older versions of autocad and would to be able to share with them captured images, is this possible, is there something I need to change when I save the drawing?

Hi,

sorry, that captured image is new for AutoCAD and only available beginning with 2015.

As you see in older versions it's a proxy object (something like unknown object), and can't be visualized with older releases.

One thing you can do is print your 2015 captured area to a high res jpg, (Or save a similar image from Google Earth) then bring it back into your drawing as a referenced image. Then anyone with AutoCAD earlier than 2015 (within reason) can see it.
