Attached images not able to plot

I am inserting an image through the Attach command.  It is visible, but will not show up on my title block.  See attached.  I am able to insert an image, and view it, but cannot plot, as it will cut off in paper space window.

Does it work to bring it to the front with DRAWORDER?

Thanks for the reply!  No, draw order doesn't seem to affect it.  I did try that.  However, now I am noticing after a reboot the images are showing up as .dib files.  I am not familiar with that. Hmmmm

What file format are the source images?
ATTACH command references images: is this just pathing issue you can fix with setting the FULL PATH back in XREF command (for your follow-up question)?

Hi @erinVZECU 

 

If you are trying to plot like your uploaded image you won't be able to 'see' the images because they do not fall within the 'printable area' of your layout.

 

Perform this experiment: Move the images down so they are situated on top of the layout's white sheet, not on the gray background, then try again. Alternatively, in the plot dialog, define your printable area using a 'window' that captures the images.
