Raster Image as Overlay (Not Attachment)

Is it possible to attach a raster image as an overlay so that it does not appear in other drawings when the drawing is in turn referenced?

You need to attach it as an OLE object: this will dramatically increase your DWG file size and add a few printing issues to older printers/plotter to boot.

INSERTOBJ command or PASTESPEC command, depends on your source.

I'll consider it but I actually want them referenced the way they are. I am willing to bet this will also affect my memory usage - already a problem.

You can't 'bind' an existing referenced image attachment in AutoCAD 2016 or lower: and yes it will punish a system already having problems.

Sadly, no.  And it SHOULD be an option.  

 

The workaround seems to be to create a unique drawing that only holds the attached images, and attach that as an XREF overlay.  kludgy....

JGerth that is kludgy but I didn't think of it! I might actually just do it if I want my composite files to be less confusing!

 

I aksed for memory and got offered a new computer :cara_guiñando_un_ojo:

Embed the raster Image into a seperate DWG.

Then Xref that DWG into your drawing and you have full control over attach vs overlay modes.
