Question
I have 3 years experience with autocad with structural engineers. I made a GIF logo. Is there anyway that logo can appear on the page without having it be an external reference? I want to upload the page on a site without having to upload the logo also. I want the logo and page to be one.

Answer
Hi --

Sorry, but some of the terms are confusing.
I THINK you mean you want the logo to appear on the SHEET (a page of an AutoCAD drawing, or construction docs, etc). There are no "pages" in AutoCAD
--- it's confusing because maybe you mean you want it on the web page.

You do not give the release of AutoCAD - latest ones have more capability with images.

Did you try pasting the gif into the drawing and re-sizing it? (does not always work)

Part of your question is not about AutoCAD, but about websites, where I do not claim expertise.
-- for instance, I do not know if one can upload a pdf to a website. If one can, I would plot the drawing to a pdf, which would include the logo gif.

With later releases, you may be able to plot the drawing to a jpeg, which would be an easy solution, except that the jpeg might be huge.

It also would be helpful to know if your "page" is a complicated drawing or ????

If you write back with the entire story, I will have enough facts to research a better reply
