    Posted: 31.Jan.2011 at 17:44

In our company title blocks, we would like to have our logo, which is currently an image (jpeg).  How do I unlink that image so that when I send the title block to a customer the picture is in the .dwg and not linked to a jpeg?  THANKS!!!!!

When inserting the image, there is a "Path Type" option at the left-center of the Image dialog box. The 3 options you're presented with are "Full Path, Relative Path, and No Path".

Make sure you choose "No Path" and it should automatically remove the link upon insertion.

Good Luck!!

Thank you for the response.
 
I tried "INSERT / ATTACH" to insert my image file.  I then selected "No Path", and saved my dwg file with the image inside of it.  I then moved my actual image file to a new folded to test out my link issue upon reopening.  When I reopened the my dwg file, it still gave my an unresolved link error treating the image as an xref. 
 
Did I somehow use the wrong command to insert the image?

No. You're right. Insert, Attach, Image, and ImageAttach only link the image to the DWG and there is no way to bind them.

The only way is to either Paste what is on your clipboard, or by using the INSERTOBJ command.

I tried both pasting images in from a clipboard and by the Insert/Attach.  When doing the Insert/Attach, the image still was binded somehow.  Instead of showing the link as text, it showed the file name as text. 

However, when doing the copy paste as you suggested, I found this only to work when copying an image from powerpoint to acad.  It successfully came in as a raster image that was listed as "Static" within the dwg.  It seems to be working so far.
 
Thanks for your help!

I am running Autocad R14 in  windows 7 pro 32 bit
When I try to use the insert raster image command it gives the error image command not found. Any suggestions how I can resolve this issue?

r14 in Win7?  Gosh, that's certainly a push.
 
Image command not found?  Maybe there is no Image command in r14.  Did you check your Help file to see if there was?  That would be the first place I'd look.
 
I managed to confirm there is an Image command in r14.  I found this online:
 
"The IMAGE command in AutoCAD R14 inserts a raster or bit-mapped bitonal, 8-bit grey, 8-bit colour, or 24-bit colour image file into the drawing."
 
Why does your Image command not work?  Perhaps it has been undefined.
 
Have you tried invoking the command from the command line itself?  Try typing the following: -image then press Enter.  What happens?

Not if you think about the fact that Windows 7 was designed to support legacy software, it isn't. Tongue

Actually it wasn't entirely.
 
Try loading a 16-bit version of the Express Tools and you'll see what I mean.

Well, nothing ever is 'entirely', but it was their vision and goal when they rewrote the code for the new Windows installer. Wink
