A Robust Way to Use Images in TitleBlocks... except it's broken

[MechMachineMan]

So from my searching I have found the best way to put an image in the inventor titleblock is as a PaintBrush.Picture format file, so that the reference it creates when saved down to autoCAD is actually the picture in the file rather than a bmp link or xref.

the bmp link and the xref are different. As is the paintbrush.picture method.

The bmp link actually creates a temp file on your computer that gets filled into that spot. This is caused by any IMAGE INSERTED WITHOUT LINK into inventor before the savedown.

The XREF is what you get when you use an IMAGE INSERTED WITH LINK into inventor before savedown. This explicitly creates the 2nd ref file, unlike sneaky bmp.

The PaintBrush.Picture is the final way. It ACTUALLY embeds the picture in the file, thus making a larger file size. However, this is the most robust way of putting the picture in. This is done by pasting/inserting a picture into inventor as that format.

So far, the only workflow I have found that actually accomplish this is by:

• Open picture in edit for paint. Select all (ctrl + A) and copy (ctrl + c)
• Go into a titleblock, in the tab under tools, paste special as PaintBrush Picture.
• Save your titleblock and save a sheet with the titleblock down to autocad.
• Open another new inventor titleblock, the one you actually want the picture in.
• Insert the previous AutoCAD file in the titleblock sketch. (Sometimes it doesn't show up....??????)
• Exit your titleblock.
• Open your titleblock again and you should be able to see and edit/move the pictures and they will stay when you save.

Why isn't the same thing accomplished any other easy way within Inventor?
