If you want to embed the image in drawing then first open image in any image editor like paint select all copy and then paste it in the drawing, no reference attachment is required for this method.

I got a program from a friend of mine to convert *.jpg into Pixel-graphic, which you can load by Script (*.scr) in a DWG.
But it will make big DWG-files... (you can see the single Pixels by ZOOM in the DWG).
My example is: jpg -> 59 kb
corresponding DWG -> 3.08 MB - to big to appload.
In case of interest contact me via www.black-cad.de

I think what they meant was, without having to send the .JPG file itself in addition to the drawing, that is, they want to send the drawing and have the .JPG embedded within the same file, instead of the image being only a reference to some external file.

Ahhhh, yes that makes sense. Don't think it's possible with an image

Not that I know of a way to do it.... A .JPG file is of an entirely different kind of content than AutoCAD drawing entities, so it may not be possible.

John, and the rest, thanks for all you help.
I wish this could been done. Still not sure why it can't be inserted or attached somehow.

This doesn't make sense or match what appeared to be what your problem was in the first place. Your first post was that your drawing wasn't "finding" the attached JPG from one computer to another, I think we helped you with that or at least explained what you had to do to make it happen.
Now you mention you want to send it out without the JPG? Is that a second problem?
If that is the case, the best thing to do is to save your drawing to a folder you have for sending out drawings such as a "file transfer" folder, detach the JPG, save it and send it.
This keeps the JPG attached to your working drawing and you have a record of what you sent out.

Why would you want to send the drawing WITHOUT the jpeg attached? Why bother going through all this if in the end the image wasn't going to go along for the ride?

It makes perfect sense that a drawing and any image that is going to be attached to it be located in the same folder. There is nothing else that will work in this case so stop looking for another solution. If you are going to "hard path" the image file then it has to match on both computers. Is that what you want to do? Yes or No?

That worked, as long as the DWG. and the JPEG are in the same folder. So there must be a path between the too.
Again if I take the DWG. out of the folder and open the JPEG is not attached.
So even if I indicated "no path" there still must be a path.
Keep thinking as I am willing to keep trying.
Thanks

Yes that is true, the only way it would work with "no path" is if you keep the dwg and jpg in the same folder. By default AutoCAD looks in the same directory for reference files if no path is given or if it can't find it at a given path.
So there is no way around it, you need to keep the jpg available to the dwg, either in the same folder or a pre-defined folder structure using relative path.
We us a "Sheets" folder and an "Xrefs" folder within a project folder, and relative paths for everything. So you can copy the folders to another directory, the sheets will find the xrefs.
