Detach all reference image files from Autocad files

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I want to remove all referenced image files from my AutoCAD files using an external application developed in vb.net. I am using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common as reference in vb.net.

Also is it possible to add the image files without external references, I mean can image files embedded in AutoCAD file? How to do it using Interop? I am using AutoCAD Version 2018.

It is impossible to embed raster image to dwg-file with AutoCAD .NET API. It is possible with custom entity with help of ObjectARX: https://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2015/04/embedding-an-image-in-a-drawing.html
