Inserting a copied image from clipboard to cad issue

[mosi_amini73]

Hello all,

I'm having an issue while taking a snapshot from PDF and inserting it to CAD, I'm forced to do this since it takes a long time to insert the PDF in the CAD file. I usually paste it as an Image Entity and don't have any problems, as of lately, when I turn off the computer and turn it on again the images are not there, only a path file that it doesn't exist anymore, forcing me to re-insert the images again. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

Thank you all in advance

You could use the paste special (_pastespec) command and insert the snapshot as a device independent bitmap. The snapshot will be an OLE object in the drawing and not referencing an image from another location.

Hi,

did you really copy and paste? Because this statement:

>> the images are not there, only a path file that it doesn't exist anymore,

let me think it's a referenced image and not an OLE object.

Can you please show a screenshot of that message?

>> it takes a long time to insert the PDF in the CAD file

You can also use command PDFATTACH to attach the pdf ... instead of inserting (and so convert the PDF as AutoCAD entities).

Hi, yes, it was a copy paste, but I pasted it as an image entity, now the image is not there, just a box with a path
