Here is what I did this a.m.

1.      Open new dwg. in AutoCad 2012 legal program.

2.      Select attached

3.      Select new JPEG.

4.      Attach image-used “no path”

5.      Ok

6.      Insert point

7.      Set scale at 100

8.      Save dwg.

9.      Move to flash drive.

10.   Open on second computer in AutoCad Lt. Legal program

11.   No image just the outline and the JPEG name.

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Wayne

Is the drawing on the flash drive or on the hard drive of the second computer?

Flash.
Do I need to move to hard drive?

Yes, and it should be moved to one of the folders that AutoCAD would normally look in.

Back to the original computer (2012 full)
I just save a new test and closed the dwg. and reopened  on the smar computer hard drive and I get the same Border and name of JPEG.
What am I doing?

I wish I could tell you but I don't have two computers running AutoCAD at my present location that I could run a similar test.

Did you put the drawing in a folder that AutoCAD would normally search?

I think you should test it out.

While in the "good" computer, with the drawing and the image in the same folder, attach your image using no path or relative path, verify it is there, save it, close it, re-open it and make sure the image is still there.

Then, copy the whole folder to a jump drive, go to the "other" computer, drag (or copy) the folder to a trusted location your AutoCAD LT would use, then open AutoCAD LT and browse to the drawing and see if your image is there.

It "should" work...

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.

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?
