I have images in my AutoCAD drawing as linked images(Pasted directly). These drawing, while sharing, required to zip dwg file along with these pictures, other wise if I share only dwg file, it doesnt show these attached images. I need to place them as Paintbrush pictures or Picture(metafile) without again doing paste special command. Is there any way like AutoCAD command or LISP to do it?

It took me about 2 minutes Google "bind images to autocad"

Would I expect a LISP program instead:

 

Step might be similar to,

1.LISP need to find out selected image path, its scale & its coordinates in drawing

2.Then from that path do paste special as Picture(metafile)/Paintbrush pictures with same scale & on same coordinate in drawing

3.Then delete selected linked image.

When you normal paste an image you have its details so should be able to do with a lisp. Just look at the steps involved.

Just drag dropped an image and this is the important property ; ImageFile = "D:\\Screenshots\\Info-alanh.PNG"
