Embeding Images or PDFs into dwgs

(1/2) > >>

MSTG007:
Just a general question. What is the best way to embed images or pdfs into dwgs, so they are no referencing external folders?

Also, Will the quality still be the same as if it was being referenced?

Sometimes sending out a dwg that has the images attached we forget to etransmitt or zip them together. It seems easier to have the stay embedded.

Thanks for any feedback!

For images

For bitonal images:
IEMBED

For images I allways use the INSERTOBJ command, but you can also use PASTESPECIAL

For vector-PDFs I use PDFIMPORT.
Raster-PDFs are first printed as an image.

MSTG007:
Thanks guys for sharing the information. Even if you have PDF that does not have vector information in it, how does it get embedded into the dwg? Do you have to manually save it out as a TIFF, then pastespecial?
