Insert Images that's viewable to both windows and Mac users

Hi, I just wanted to know if there is a solution to inserting images in AutoCAD that will be both viewable to windows and Mac suers? thanks!

Anything will work... I prefer .PNG.

I presume you mean literally attaching the image, not referencing them? Because OLE objects do not work on MAC? Perhaps something like the vectorize tool here ? (Would have to be done using the Win version, but the resulting geometry would display on the MAC).

You need to send along the images with your DWG files if you used IMAGEATTACH to add them. If you did the OLE linking, you need to break the link first then test your file after an AutoCAd restart to see if they still show up.

ETRANSMIT command is designed to grab all file content needed for seamless sharing.
