hi there, thank you very much for your time and suggestions.
It worked to some extent but unfortunately not fully.
Heres what happened, worked /didn't work:
opened a drawing that was missing the logo,
opened logo jpeg in paint,
copied logo to clipboard
used PASTESPEC command in ACad, (it showed up fine, I moved it into place),
saved dwg,
opened dwg.
All good - logo showing, (note: the original logo jpeg was in a different folder altogether)
So it seemed to have worked so I:
opened dwg
saved as a new name, in to a different folder
closed the new drawing
opened it - ALL GOOD again. I thought great !
Put trail dwgs on a pendrive
copied those files to my Mac (I use both PC and Mac - I like to learn ACad on both)
Opened the .dwg on Acad for Mac 2016 and no joy - missing logo ![]()
I have attached the error messages in case anyone is interested.
I will try those files at school on the school PC's and see if that works on PC only maybe. My gut is that they will open and show the logo correctly as long as its opened on a PC. I will write another post once Ive checked.
Another thing - Mac does not have the PASTESPEC command which I'm sure does not help. The closest thing was PASTECLIP which i tried but it didn't work - it pasted text of the file path kind of thing. I think this is first time I've actually had the Mac not have some kind of work around
maybe there is one I just don't know of..
So I tried the alt you kindly suggested and created a block (on the PC) and tried that way.
OUTCOME WITH BLOCK (using PASTESPEC):
Worked on PC
Logo did not appear when opened on a Mac. (instead a box with text Windows OLE Object)
The last attachment "this appeared instead" is the first attempt from my original post of the logo missing, (pink text ) and also the failed PASTESPEC attempt (blue text).
So all said and done I think I will have to bail on the logo idea and do as JG suggested and draw my own in ACad. Still, I am glad to know of the PASTESPEC command, I will try on the school PC's too, that will confirm in my mind if it will open on PCs.
Thanks again for your help,
T
One little note in Macs defence - when I tried to open the files and they were missing my Mac told me about it and gave me options of what I could do (see attached), whereas the PC when the logo went missing originally just opened with it missing.
