What can I do to view these objects?
The only one thing that I can do is re insert as a raster reference image with image file.
Thank you.

Yes, you quite right, in Mac OS you can only insert raster images as external references.

Read the topic again.

>>>WINDOWS<<< ole objects.

Windows, OS, by Microsoft.
OLE, by Microsoft through Windows OS.
AutoCAD for Windows uses Windows OS features like OLE.
MAC OS by Apple.
MAC OS has no OLE ability.
AutoCAD for MAC has no OLE, since it is not found in the MAC OS.
Applications linking is done at the OS level: otherwise every application will need custom code for each specific other program and the nightmare of coding will grow exponentially and then really be unstable.

This post is not meant as an insult, just pointing out facts that some of us here are glossing over. OLE is not in the MAC OS, only Apple can make it happen.

OLE objects do not show in Autocad MAC. - That´s a fact!

But these days I received a drawing that showed the image (OLE OBJECTS) perfectly.

I thought that maybe it was inserted as "paste special" or "OLE bitmap". But wasn't, cause I tried that with a friend that uses Windows.

 

Do you know what could have been done differently to insert this OLE so that it shows in AutocadMac?

image attached
(1) OLE image perfectly showing in Autocad Mac (sorry, needed to blur it)
(2) OLE not showing

No, I don't have this image file, and it wasn't sent to me with the dwg file.
