Solved: xref binding an image

hi guys

I need some info can you bind an image in autocad so that when the drawing is complete you can send it to someone without the image missing ?

thanks

hello, you cannot bind image . if you want you can try this process it's already embedded into into a drawing no need to worry about image attached and send to other consultant. thanks

The right way is to attach the image with relative path (or non, if the image is in tge same folder). Send your DWG and the imagefile.

The perfect way: Use command etransmit for all external stuff like fonts images other xrefs plotstyletable..

The only way to paste an image as content to dwg is to insert it as embedded OLE object.

But i not prefer to merge raster data with your well vector datas in your dwg.

So: Attached img bind directly is not possible.

This subject matter has been discussed many times in this forum.
Hint: Place image into clipboard then PASTESPEC - accept the prompts.

Embed, not bind.
