Autocad auto load all layout png files when adding layout.dwg to my project

[Anonymous]

I have layout.dwg file & layout folder with png files (Layout/Layout_5_000_-5_-5.png etc). When I add the layout.dwg to my project, Autocad displays all files names but not loading them. I need to select all the layout.dwg png files and right click "Reload" in order load them. How can I set Autocad to auto load all layout png files with I add layout.png to my project?

Thank you

Please post a drawing file with this loaded as normal.  I suspect that you are loading your png file as an ole object and there may be a simpler way in which AutoCAD does not have to reference the link to load the file.

Just wanna be sure I point you in the right direction.

Thank you. I do not have access to the file today.  

Can you tell me how to correctly add the layout.dwg?

I got the layout.dwg and the folder with the png files from external source. 

When I load the layout.dwg no png is displyed. 

When selecting all the png files below layout.dwg in  Autocad  and selecting "Reload" - they are displayed.

I can see a path reference for each png file. 

Although the path is correct I need to select the files and "reload" them. 

Can you tell me how  to add the layout.dwg to my project in a simpler way 

so when adding layout.dwg all the connected png images will be displayed? 

Thank you

You need to remove/unload the PNGs that are referenced, then do this to embed them instead if that's all you ever wanted to do https://autocadtips1.com/2013/02/22/embed-a-picture-not-as-a-reference/

It is the layout dwg that likely needs fixed.  I want to help but I can only give you detailed instructions is I have the layout dwg and a png image.  I can even demonstrate with a generic png imge but I gotta see how the layout dwg is structured and how you target dwg is structured.

Dean is describing wahat I am leading to but I suspect you need more detailed advise... which I would help with if you provide what I need.
