When I make a JPEG from Google Earth and save in a folder that has an AutoCad dwg in the same folder and then do an attach of the JPEG and place in the Dwg. the image is in the dwg.
I save and the move the whole folder to a flash drive and move to another laptop and open the dwg. The image in not on the dwg. just an outline and a path to the JPEG.
How can I make the JPEG part of the dwg. so I can move between computers?
Understand?
Thanks
Wayne

You probably specified a full (absolute) path instead of a relative path or None when you originally attached the image. Now that you have switched computers that path may not be exactly the same. A single character being different would be all that it takes to mess you up.

Well still not working.
I said no path.
Do I need to take the JPEG to the other computer?

Autodesk DWG. This file is a TrustedDWG last saved by an Autodesk application
or Autodesk licensed application.

I think he was asking if there is a reference to a path when the drawing with the missing image file is loaded.

Well try again. The path to the image file is the key to the problem.

Yes the path and maybe the method to insert or copy/paste it.

In your "reference" dialog, does it show the image name and read "not found"? As John Conner mentioned, you probably inserted your image with an absolute path the first time, and changing to no path after in the problem drawing won't fix it.
You would need to re-path it, set it no path or relative path, and then save it.
