AutoCAD/Import BMP

Question
I am working at revising our current title block. I want to import our company logo into it. We have the logo in jpeg and bmp formats. When I copy and paste it works well except for when you plot it. The picute becomes very blurry, fuzzy, hard to view.
Is there another way I can do this?
Thanks

Answer
Mark,

The best way to fix this is to convert the bitmap image to vector (autocad entities).  Trace the bmp by using autocad lines, plines, arcs, etc.  This way, you'll encounter fewer problems down the line when ever exporting your drawings to clients or vendors.  Hope this helps.
