When inserting pictures in autocad there is normally created a link to the picture. The picture is now treated as an External reference. This creates problems when we send the drawings to customers and vendors, because we usually forget to attach the pictures. To avoid such problems we need to embed the pictures into the file as a object.
1. Open the file in MSpaint and convert is (Save AS) to 24 bits bitmap ( BMP).
Tip ; just write MSPAINT in the search field in the start menu.
2. In Autocad 2011, go to the Data tab and select “OLE object”. A dialog will pop up and ask you to select and set your preferences. Select as below.Make sure you don't check for LINK or DISPLAY AS ICON. The file will be embedded into the drawing and you can use normal AutoCad commands to move, rotate and scale.
